For £5.50 a roll, you couldn't really ask for more. The film has quite a large and noticeable grain, and the contrast in the highlights could be better. ,I like a bit of grain in black and white photography, but if you wanted smooth tones, this wouldn't be the film for you.

For a film, when you want to experiment with new cameras, techniques, or subjects, this is about as good as you can get. It also encourages a "take the shot" mentality rather than worrying if every shot is worth it. When you think you can get four rolls of this for one roll of Ektar (yes, I know the applications are different) it really is an excellent option to get started.

Great value for money. Due to the fine grain I much prefer this over the pan 400 variety, even if it does give less flexibility with lighting. I'll be stocking up with this I my next order.

(Sample shot has a line through it but I think that's my fault for loading the camera like an idiot.)

A little bit too much grain for my liking, and there's other black and white films I prefer, but definitely worth the super low price compared to others, and great for beginners!

Great film for someone fresh to film photography but also good for experienced ones. Love the grain

Really nice results from film that doesn't cost a lot! Very happy.
I've shot a second roll since my original review so I've added some more example pics!
