Pan F is wonderful for sunny days (and with careful use, slightly cloudy ones). The only drawbacks are a short latent image life and the fact that the highlights can get blown out very easily. A 20% reduction in development time when overexposing for shadow detail might work.

Loading this into a Yashica 635 I pushed this a bit with some night photography, and a little indoor photography. It didn’t let me down. Even with the long exposures needed it retained a nice, smooth grain, and the contrast is lovely.

Writing this review I’m about to buy another couple of rolls with the aim of shooting in a mix of daylight and night (on an upcoming short trip).

Develops nicely in ID-11 1+1.

PanF 50 is wonderful film, used correctly. A lot of folks use it on bright sunny days just because its a slow ISO50 film, but it is very high in contrast. So if you just snap away with it in bright sun, you might be disappointed. For studio work though, with the ability to control light, it is stunning. I've used it a lot for portraiture alongside Kodak Tri-X for when I want really smooth but high contrast images. I only use it in 120 format.

I love the contrast in this film and its reliability. I also really like the fine grain within the film as it helps to create really great looking photos.

Pan F is among my favourite low speed films, especially when put behind some good quality glass!

Pan F (as well as certain other films) is fine grained and "sharp" enough that a 35mm negative can print almost as clearly as a medium format negative, and a medium format one can print with almost the same amount of clarity as a large one.

A wonderful film for wide apertures or sunny days. Portraits are very pleasing and landscapes benefit from the overall feel of this film.

Pan-F is a "fussy" film to use. It likes accurate exposure, but we should all be doing that anyway right :) ! It also likes to be developed promptly, and looses some of the latent image if you don't. Small percentages, but sometimes noticeable, unlike say FP4. It also doesn't keep too well, and unlike just about all other B/W films, a roll 5 years out of date may well not be OK! I think I've just about got the hang of it now. It's slow of course, so anything than the brightest day, you'll need a tripod. The effort is well worth the work though, it's a beautiful fine grain film, that oozes quality and perfect for landscapes.

Image was taken indoors on a 1929-1933 Kodak Portrait Brownie using time exposure.

So thought I'd try something a bit slow, this time, and on a nice sunny day this film preformed very, good tonal ranges pin sharp, decent price. So all good. Whack some in and give it a go.

This was my first time shooting on 120 film in a studio setting and I am very glad I decided to use Pan F! It met my needs with the low grain and high contrast and produced results I was happy with. Highly recommend it!

I’ve been shooting this at ISO34 for portraits in my Rolleiflex with good results and developing in 510 pyro.

Really beautiful detail in this film, I normally shoot 400 so enjoyed the creative possibility for longer exposures with a slower film

Absolutely love this one for brighter days, the 50 ISO is perfect

This was the first roll of film I ever shot, on my grandads nearly 100 year old Rolleiflex. Absolutely amazed how well they came out, the clarity is beautiful but still with a slight vintage feeling haze. And obviously very forgiving for beginners!

I’m not just saying that, this is truly the best bnw film out there. The contrast and detail are out of this world. 35mm or 120 this film stands out and is great for a variety of subjects.

Had a lot of fun shooting on this B&W film.
I'm super happy how the photos came out as it was pouring with rain while being super bright outside when I was shooting.

The film worked really well and it unspoiled and spoiled up on the new real really well and didn't want to spring off when I took it out the camera.

Over all no complaints about this film. A lovely affordable option.
