Kentmere Pan400 is a great emulsion for people trying 120 film photography for the first time. The soft backing allows for easy scanning, the images will have medium contrast and fine grain, and its mid-speed rating means it can be used in a variety of lighting situations.

Rated ISO 400 with excellent push characteristics, Kentmere Pan 400 film is one of the most versatile and forgiving black & white films on the market. Ideal for ‘everyday’ use, and suitable for a wide variety of subjects and lighting conditions, the resulting negatives capture a broad range of tones and are perfect for both darkroom printing and scanning.

Drawing many attributes from ILFORD stocks such as HP5, Kentmere Pan 400’s price point, coupled with its wide and forgiving exposure latitude, make it an ideal film for those new or returning to film photography as well as students and budget conscious photographers.

Kentmere was a small black-and-white film manufacturer based in the Lake District for many years. It was acquired by Ilford's parent company in 2007, who consolidated production in their Mobberley plant. The brand exists as a more-affordable alternative to Ilford, with the same quality and consistency of production but with savings made in the emulsion chemicals.

Cheap and Cheerful

I used this film to test out an old bellows camera, at least 90 years old. It was my first time using 120 film, and I'm very pleased with the results form the film (and the camera!). It worked well in landscapes and shaded areas - though a bit grainy - and gave excellent contrast when shooting a building in full sun.
However, I only got 8 exposures out of my roll, not the 12 as mentioned in the the description. This is why I gave 4 stars, not 5.
Will purchase again!

Handles pushing really well

First time shooting Kentmere in 120 and I pushed it to 800 ISO. Results were amazing and I've ordered more to try it again! Gonna be perfect for these darker evenings. Plus super value!

Cheapest and one of the best!

Many people buy this film because of its good value but it is also a great film. It has very wide exposure latitude and as such pushes really well. I used to use it to test cameras but now it's a staple for me.
