I have to say this was the first B&W roll I really didn't care for at all. It's cheap so that's convenient but it was unbelievably grainy, extremely high contrast, and just not what I expect from an iso 100 film. Not that I expected Pan F Plus but it really took me by surprise when I got the film back from the lab. I suppose it's not a bad film I'm just very lukewarm on it. I'll most likely try it once more but it's definitely not one I'll be reaching for. Without actually having shooting a roll of its higher speed sibling, this roll came out like what I imagine Kentmere Pan 400 would look like if pushed to 800.
low grain, clean picture, and its somehow the easiest on the wallet
Having done black and white photography in my own darkroom for twenty five years, I found it necessary to give that up in favor of digital, doing conversions to monochrome on the computer. I recently decided to jump back into film, and with a couple of rolls of the Kentmere 100 and the Ilford starter pack, I managed to make space in my guest bathroom for processing. I have exposed about ten rolls so far, along with Delta 100 and Fp-4 Plus, and after tweaking the exposure and development a bit, I must say I have some images from the Kentmere that I can find no fault with at all. I have exposed it at both 50 and 100, and now use Kodak Xtol stock for development for both. Consistency is good. No doubt this film lacks the richness of the FP-4 and the almost clinical sharpness of the Delta, but for anyone doing film for the fist time, or for an old timer like me getting back into it, the results from this film make it a true value.
Tested in my new H35 camera. A very good value and I would use it again.
This is our second order of this film. Quality film at a reasonable price.
I have only shot one roll of this film and I already love it! Nice fine, even grain. Can't say anything regarding pushing or pulling but I am guessing -1/+2 would be just fine.
Love the look of this film for nice sunny day shoots, or still life studio shots. Nice grain structure and good across the board characteristics. Shadows and highlights are rendered very true to what was shot with very little contrast work needed in the darkroom, unless you want a very tight contrast. For that I split filter with a #2 and a #5. This film is amazing for its latitude both in push/pull and well as grey scales. Out of the box with regular processing I would say it gives 6-8 zones from highlight to shadow.
Love this film, ISO 100 used with CAFFENOL works well together. WOW!!
