Kentmere 400
K400 is a great all round film for action and low light. I found it a little flat but a contrast boost in post or a minute longer in development helps enormously. For the price it a great bargain and I can't really fault it.

A total newbie with film and this was my first time shooting B&W so it was a bit of an experiment.
In good light, with the right subject there's decent contrast, tone and sharpness but found the results a little too grainy for my tastes in some cases, particularly for landscape shots.
Good fun for the money though.

Excellent B & W Film Stock
I've been shooting Kentmere 400 for around 18 months now as my standard go to film. I absolutely love it, especially taking into account the price compared to other black and whhite film stocks.
The photographs of the car that I have attached were both shot at box speed (400 ISO), and the side profile one is probably one of my favourite shots that I have taken on 35mm. However, nowadays I tend to push the film to 800 ISO which I personally think looks a little better, and adds a little more depth and contrast (see the other three pictures).
I have also noticed that around direct light you do get a little bit of halation, which I personally like (see picture of building).
Definately buy a roll or two and give it a try :)

Kentmere 400 pushed to 800
Grain and contrast go up a notch if you push it but not too bad.
I concur with m'learned friends who say this is pretty amazing stuff for £4.75 a pop.
