The JCH Street Pan 400 film has quickly gained a loyal following from 35mm photographers who love its high-contrast and high-grain feel. Images have an interesting charcoal result without losing the sharpness of the subject, and the emulsion is forgiving on overexposure.
When paired with a dark red filter, you’ll find that this high contrast black and white film can also act as an infrared film — with high sensitivity in the IR range.

His Instagram account is one of the most beautiful accounts on the site - and rightly one of the most popular within the analogue world.

Expressive
I love these deep blacks and contrasts. It's quite expensive for black-and-white film, but this a quality product here. Not only for street photography, but also for portraits and landscape, too. Next time, I will try it out with red filter for more experimental and interesting look.

Pricy but worth it
Excellent black-and-white film for both street photography and portraits. Very nice grain with black and silver tones. Great during daylight and good enough for low light conditions.

Meh
I'm not sure if it was developing in DF96 that didn't do this film justice so bear that in mind. I found the contrast, grain & lack of detail all a bit much in this one. Maybe it's just not to my taste. I still got a couple of shots I liked from it but it won't be one that I use again.

A fun film with an extreme look, not for beginners!
I bought a single roll of JCH StreetPan 400 because I was looking for something higher contrast as my first B&W film and it was on sale, having previously only shot a few rolls of Kodak Gold 200. It is not a film I would recommend to beginners like me. It has a very extreme look, and handles some environments radically differently than others. I found that in all cases it can give some rich shadows, but is limited in dynamic range, more so than I was expecting. However I have to say some of the photos still came out looking great! Analogue Wonderland’s premium TIF scanning option really came in clutch and allowed me to pull some data back in Lightroom. In sunny outdoors conditions before processing some pictures can look almost like a posterised photocopy! Consider using that premium scan option if you plan to shoot this film, and look for dramatic, almost silhouette style shooting conditions, as it will not handle high dynamic range scenes or mid tones well, even when properly metered.
