Kentmere 100- Budget black and white film 🤑

Kentmere Pan 100 is black and white film with an ISO of 100. It is a great low-speed starter film for 35mm photography, especially beginners. It has great detail and sharpness, medium contrast, subtle tones, and very good exposure latitude.

The "Partly this is because students are not known for having a lot of spare cash" line hits hard.

Haven’t tried the Kentmere 100 yet have had the 400 bulk load and I liked it.

With all due respect I would suggest that not only "students" find this film great but us "seniors" may find this is a great alternative. I like to shoot 4x5 sheet film. Does Kentmere make sheet film? :)

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Yes, it is a brilliant film for all ages! :D I don't believe they do, they do it in 120 now which was released late last year, and in bulk rolls. The closest alternative in sheet film would be one of Ilford's range analoguewonderland.co.uk/collections/large-format-film?page=2 :)

I have a roll of this on its way to AW right now. Testing it through a new (to me) Voigtlander Vito BL. Very excited to see the results 😁 great review Emma.

Ah you mention Ribsy - he's an amazing guy and an excellent photographer - very well respected in the community if the number of other people's channels he's appeared on is anything to judge by. Kentmere 100 is better than just a "beginner's film", it's capable of supurb results even if your exposure is slightly off. Sure, it has some grain but no more than other budget brands. The thing that really does surprise me though is that it competes extremely well on several levels with a very well known brand made in the Czech Republic. Yes it lies flat in the scanner just as you've mentioned and can be processed in a wide range of standard chemistry. The only surprise I had with K100 is that is wasn't available in 120 format until very recently. Now, my only hope is that they've not made it so good that sales of FP4 suffer, because FP4 really is THE medium speed film. Can't wait til you can get your hands on some ORWO UN54, either pre-rolled (expensive) or in bulk (cheaper than K100 by around a fiver per 100 foot roll). That stuff is very "FP4"ish too. So now we need a follow up video for you to tell us how you got on with K100, those that use it know but for those who have never tried it.....

[@AnalogueWonderland]

Yes, Ribsy is brilliant! And yes we are hoping to see some ORWO film land with us soon, fingers crossed

I really like using Kentmere 400, but I still need to try Kentmere 100!
