Lovely film, cheap but I didn't notice. Nice grain and details in greys

The kentmere 400 film is a great budget stock and reallly versatile especially for those wanting to learn and experiment more. I have had great results at box speed but more recently I am pushing it 1-2 stops to get more contrast in my images.

I pushed my latest roll of film to iso 800 to increase the contrast and i was really pleased with the results.

Really great budget film. Having just gotten started with film photography i didnt want to spend too much on rolls that may turn out to be poorly executed by myself....which after hundreds of photos was a wise choice. Being iso 400 it feels very forgiving and easy to use shooting handheld. Its very flexible and produces some very beautiful results. Having tried more expensive films now I still find myself having a permanent stock of this film in, it lets me feel less worried when i feel like getting more experimental.

A fun, reliable black-and-white film that’s great for practising and everyday photos. I really enjoyed using it.

For the first time in 25 years I loaded a film into my vintage Minolta Hi-Matic F, which I must have had for around 40 years. I chose Kentmere Pan 400 to test the camera, as I knew I would have to adjust the ASA from box speed 400 down to 200 to allow for the different voltages in modern batteries for the camera's light meter and it's automatic exposure. Extremely pleased with the results, so a new roll of Kentmere Pan 400 has been loaded into the camera!

This film has given me my favourite picture I’ve taken since starting film photography 5 years back. The nostalgic black and white grain allows a seemingly normal everyday moment in a pub garden between a close friend and my daughter to feel like a core memory that I never want to let go of. Love shooting with this - great for the price!

A great stock. Very flexible, push to ISO800 for great contrast.

Whatever your skill level at film photography, be it beginner or pro, Kentmere 400 is a great all-rounder at a price we can all afford. It's a very forgiving film and has enough latitude and contrast to play with to keep most people happy. use with a Yellow Filter in an SLR or just shoot it as is with a compact and enjoy yourself. The trees were photographed with a Minolta Dynax 4 and yellow filter in bright sunshine. The alley was shot with a Hanimex 35RAS compact camera on a wet, dull day.

One of my favourite cheap film stocks, great quality and value!!!

Cheap and brilliant, it has never let me down and the flatter contrast really suits playing around with your film scans. Love it!

Incredible value for money. Kentmere Pan 400 is a surprisingly good film with nice results and a lot to like for the price. Definitely worth trying.

This is the cheapest film I’ve purchased from analogue wonderland and it’s one of my favourite black and white films. Definitely worth it if you want a solid film that won’t break the bank as it’s versatile with nice contrast. Great beginner film.

Can't beat it for the price. I develop in DIY caffenol without problems, but for really great results I use Xtol (or the Bellini EcoDev version). Stands up against more expensive films (in my opinion).

Although Kentmere 400 is on the cheaper end of film stocks, and one of the cheapest at AW it still performs well for most shooters especially in the British 'sun' lol.

It can come out quite mid tonal wise at times with nice grey tones throughout but it can still have higher contrast if you aim to do so. Its grain is also pretty run of the mill medium with it not being super clean nor dense in my experience.

With it being 400 it does pretty well in lower light but I wouldn't recommend shooting it at night at all, yet with all that said its a well developed film stock and with that lower price per roll it makes it good to get shots off without draining your bank and one of my favourite to experiment with outside fomopan 100.
