Bergger Pancro 400 35mm Reviews

Not as good as it's big brother

I had far better results with the 120 than with the 35mm. Perhaps it was because it was 36 exposures and as I have had this issue before, in shorter length film, the contrast was flat and not nearly as dimensional as Tri-x. I used Xtol dev 1:1 with a water bath of 1 min to start.

Punchy

My first results were developed in Rodinal semi-stand. So given that, they have a lot of grain, but I expected that. I actually really like the way it looks, the only thing to watch out for is that shadows block up relatively easily, even with the compensating nature of semi-stand. But for contrasty film, a little of that is alright. I would put it in between Fomapan 400 and HP5+ for the tonal range, which is a nice spot to be. Probably not for your most detailed shots, pick a slower film for that.

question

For developing Bergger Pancro 400, I will be using Sprint Standard developer. For 400 ASA, can anyone give me some idea of the developing time (for example at 68 F.) either from experience or time used on other developer I can compare? Bergger says they have no idea since don't use Sprint in Europe. Thanks
Asked by: Norman
The Massive Development Chart suggests Bergger developed with Sprint Standard 1 : 9 dilution for 11.5 minutes at 20 C, 35mm or 120.
