Quick answer

Choose REVOLOG Streak 200 for lo-fi color effects and Kodak T-Max 400 for sharp, classic black-and-white photography. Your subject and desired look determine the better pick.

Two different creative tools

REVOLOG Streak 200 and Kodak T-Max 400 serve completely different visual purposes. Streak is a color negative film designed to add a vintage, scratched look with a yellowish tone in darker areas. T-Max 400 is a professional panchromatic black-and-white film built for sharpness, fine grain, and versatility in low light or fast action.

Your choice depends on whether you want a predictable, high-quality B&W negative or an experimental color film with built-in imperfections.

What each film does best

Kodak T-Max 400 excels when you need consistent results for dim lighting, fast subjects, or maximum depth of field. Its continuous-tone, fine-grain structure makes it suitable for scientific, biomedical, or professional work where image quality matters most.

REVOLOG Streak 200 is the opposite: it embraces imperfection. The streak effect is stronger in darker parts of the frame, creating a worn, nostalgic feel. This film is for creative projects where you want the camera to add its own character.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Look and feel: T-Max 400 produces clean, classic B&W images. Streak 200 adds intentional scratches and color shifts, especially in shadows.
  • Speed and versatility: T-Max 400 (ISO 400) handles low light and action well. Streak 200 (ISO 200) needs more light and is less flexible in dim conditions.
  • Predictability vs. surprise: T-Max 400 gives consistent, high-quality results. Streak 200's effect varies by frame, so you cannot fully control the outcome. If you need reliable negatives for printing or scanning, pick T-Max. If you enjoy happy accidents, go with Streak.
