Kodak publishes development specs for various TMax 3200 ratings, ranging from 
800 to 6400. I suppose one could say it's actually an ISO 800 film, but that 
would be splitting hairs. I have used it quite often at 3200 with good success, 
although I find it looks much better at 1600. I don't like it at 6400. Too much 
grain and too much contrast for my taste.
