Nice but not for me
Nice and reliable film, can't complain at all for the price, but it wasn't enough to get me to love black and white film

Affordability and flexibility in spades
Kentmere 400 performs brilliantly for the price, and is my go-to when I need a test roll. It pushes well rated up to 1600 in my experience, though with some inevitable loss of shadow detail. The exposure latitude is famously wide, making this film very forgiving.

Push this 2 stops! Low Light Dream
@Developedbydieter Excellent Film, affordable and great quality. I had never shot analogue in such low light before, so I took my Pentax KX and a roll of Kentmere 400 and I was blown away with how well this film handles a live music environment. I Will definitely be using this again. (Pushed to 1600)

Excellent budget film
Excellent quality - when exposed correctly, this film resolved with excellent clarity and grain, especially considering the price. Punches way above its weight!

A great option regardless of price
It would be wrong to consider Kentmere 400 a cheap and cheerful film, I think. One thing you learn from trying different film stocks is that it is often the cheapest B&W films that produce the most pleasing and surprising results. So it is with this film: good contrast, lots of detail, controllable grain. I like it and wouldn't hesitate to use it again. Being so affordable it is a great film to experiment with for pushing and development.
