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.
