T-Max does magic with grain structure to give finer grain at the same
speed. The hidden cost is that it's less "tolerant" of exposure and
processing variations. Some people consider that the T-Max films are
best left for the studio where everything is under perfect control,
while Tri-X still rules in the field.
> As for color, you can't beat Velvia.
But not for people, and certainly not indoors!
A low contrast portrait film like Kodak Portra or Fuji NPH is
indicated for that application.
