Kodak Tri-X 400 vs Kodak TMax 400: Which is Better?

For a number of years, Kodak Tri-X has often been the single most talked about black and white film on the market. Fujifilm Acros is barely mentioned, and even Kodak's own TMax 400 isn't heavily spoken about. Lots of photographers tend to like one film over the other, but they're both very capable of producing great results. With that said, it can sometimes be pretty simple to tell the differences apart from the two.Kodak Tri-x for years was alongside photojournalists due to its versatility and its specific look that tends to work more with the midtones than the highlights and shadows. But as the years progressed, more photographers started using it in the studio too. Students enjoyed it for its forgiving nature. TMax, on the other hand, was typically marketed as being the finest grain 400 film on the market--which is stereotypically a look that is valued by landscape photographers, studio photographers, etc. Or at least that's what you'd think, right?
