The JCH StreetPan 400 film has quickly gained a loyal following from medium format photographers who love its high-contrast and high-grain feel. Images have an interesting charcoal result - especially in the larger size of 120 photos - without losing the sharpness of the subject, and the emulsion is forgiving on over-exposure.
When paired with a dark red filter this film can also act as an infrared film - with high sensitivity in the IR range.
JCH = Japan Camera Hunter = Bellamy Hunt, a man with the most enviable job in existence. He lives in Japan and spends most of his time sourcing film cameras that are rare, high quality, and in demand across the world. Not satisfied with making people's wildest camera dreams come true, he has recently branched out into producing his own film in 35mm and 120 formats. His Instagram account is one of the most beautiful accounts on the site - and rightly one of the most popular within the analogue world.

WOW!
This is my first time using this film - it certainly won't be my last. The high contrast makes for exciting and compelling images, while detail and sharpness is retained. The two shots here were taken on a bright sunny day. It will be interesting to see the results in other lighting, and in more urban subject matter - portraits too. the scans shown are without any post-processing. I am really looking forward to working some more with this film.

Quite expensive for what it is..
Its a fine film but I don't think it's worth the asking price. I think you could get the same look with Rollei 400s but pushing the development time.

Fine grained, contrasty, and needs care with exposure
Although marketed for high contrast at its box speed of 400, I opted to pull it to ASA200, developing the film in Ilford DD-X, dilution 1:4 for six minutes at 20 deg C, agitation 10 secs/minute. The camera was a hand held Mamiya 1000S.I figured I could post process it to higher contrast if I wished, and I wanted to see what the potential tonal range was.
Exposure was by multi spot metering on a bright sunny day, just to make for a challenge!
The negs were converted to digital files with a Canon macro lens and converted to positives using Grain2Pixel software.
The images are quite contrasty with deep blacks, but generally seemed to hold highlights well. In the conditions, there was a minimal amount of clipping on most images both in highlights and shadows - it was a very bright day!
Grain is little in evidence and the film is quite sharp. There was a certain amount of curl on the film but not excessive, and the film base is clear.
In conclusion, where high contrast images are sought, this film works well. I could see it as a choice for landscape and architecture when a darker, moodier feel to the images is sought. It is fussy about exposure

Nice
I like the results I got from this film. Huge contrast and grain, which I expected.
