After a while away from film photography I'm currently exploring different film stocks. For the price I didn't expect too much from the Kentmere 400, but it has a decent contrast and "look" that I prefer to Illford XP2 that I used to use. For B&W I think this may become a firm choice to pair with my Olympus Trip 35 and I'm looking forward to learning how to get the most out of the combination

This film is perfect for black and white photography thanks to its balanced 400 speed and amazing price to quality ratio. I’ve ordered more.

Fabulous film at a great price. It’s easy to worry that cheaper film won’t offer the depth or tone in an image that I’m after, but I’ve found Kentmere Pan 400 to produce wonderful results. I use pretty old clunky cameras, and develop at home, so there’s lots that *can* go wrong, but this film isn’t one of them. Delighted to have given this one a shot!

Not as 'flat' as Ilford HP5 / FP4 but not as rich as the Delta series; a nice spot in the middle. The price point is obviously a major selling point too. I've not tried printing, be it digitally or in a darkroom with this film so hope it holds up then.
I'll definitely be shooting it more.

I tried shooting a roll of Kentmere 400 in my Olympus OM101 and 50mm f/2 with a cheap red filter and got some interesting results. This film is cheap enough to experiment with and not be worried about breaking the bank if your experiment is a bust.
