Kentmere Pan 400 has classic looking grain with good sharpness, tones, and pleasing contrast. It also has a wide and forgiving exposure latitude with excellent ‘push’ characteristics. Compared to Kentmere Pan 100, this is a faster film with more noticeable grain, a touch less contrast and better latitude for pushing.

Both films are manufactured from start to finish at the HARMAN site in Mobberley, Cheshire, UK and, undergo the same quality assurance processes as all ILFORD films.

First Kentmere products were released back in 2009 and were a great choice for students or photographers on the budget. The 35mm films are well known for their versatility and latitude.

Both films are available for order through our shop.
