TMax 100 Question

Many years ago I used some TMax 100 and didn't like it. It seemed to produce a "weak" negative. I am talking just after it was first introduced (late 1970's or early 1980's?).

I started using TMax 400 instead, and recently went to Delta 400 and 100.

However, very recently (like last week!) I couldn't get TMax 400 and had to use TMax 100 instead. After I processed it in HC110 I was "floored!" The negative was strong (good density), and the printed image has exceptional resolution and a long tonal scale.

I am going to try to post an html image of one of the shots with the 35mm TMax 100.

I used the TMax 100 in my Canonet GIII for "fun shots" and they are better than my Medium format images on Delta 400.

I recall way back that Kodak was having problems with the TMax 100 emulsion. Am I correct to assume this has been corrected? If so, this is my B/W film from now on. Any thoughts?
