As a dedicated HP5 fan I’m now converted to Kentmere 400.
I can make beautiful darkroom prints and it seems every bit as forgiving as it’s more expensive relative.

I tried this film for it's affordability. Whilst it looks great and holds up against more expensive films, it was surprisingly grainy. However the contrast is great.

Great budget film. Really enjoyed it in 120 format.

I was put off Kentmere after trying to push it to 3200 and screwing up the development a fee years ago. That was before it was in 120 format. I pushed this to 800 and the results were fantastic. A very flexible film for a great price.

I tend to use this film when testing cameras, especially pinhole. The reciprocity isn't to bad and still get decent results.

I bought an expeditionary roll of Kentmere 400 to test whether it was a viable alternative to the more costly and contrasty Kodak tri x, my go-to. I'm very pleased with the results which have a lovely range of tones without compromising too much on contrast in the more striking shots. I look forward to stocking up when the film becomes available again!

I shot this film in my MPP Microcord TLR. I was guessing the exposure as I didn't have a light meter with me. The sun was going in and out constantly so I was pleasantly surprised when I developed the film that all 12 shots were useable exposure wise.

Although somewhat flat in it's standard ISO with a 2 stop push to 1600 this film comes into a world of it's own! The added speedes do so much to manage the speed requirements of handheld medium format and the 120 size means that grain is nowhere near as relevant. The side effect of extra contrasts makes this film a must buy especially at this price point.

Absolutely in love with this film, the texture, tone and grain are spot on 💫

Great price and great results. Can’t ask for much more than that.

bought a medium format camera & need to test it out with an affordable, forgiving film stock? you can't beat Kentmere pan 400. sure the contrast isn't the most punchy, but it can handle most lighting situations & can tolerate being pushed / pulled.

Fairly happy with the results, not very contrasty but easy to push contrast in post.

Pure and simple, nothing more, nothing less. Just as good as HP5/Tri-X without the cult following. Excellent for scanning and editing. It's a no brainer at this price.

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!

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!

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.
