    You should really try Rollei RPX 400. it’s made for Rollei by Ilford and is based on the original Agfapan APX 400 formula (not the new AgfaPhoto APX 400 which might be Kentmere). It‘s really interesting and unique. Definitely not right for low contrast developers but it can look great with normal to high contrast devs. It’s has a really interesting toe and grain.

    I like your style. If your negative is too thin or too low contrast to your taste, feel free to extend your development time in 10% steps. You will get higher contrast, but grain size will grow too. The given development times are a starting point only. The 400 looks underdeveloped in comparison to the 100.

I love the way it scans, but I rarely scan anything anymore except contact sheets. I’d love to switch to it though, because it’s half the cost of tri x.

    @bhop.builds Рік тому

    I've been shooting Kentmere 400 almost exclusively for the past 6 months or so, and recently started bulk rolling it, (in 35mm) but it's mostly because of film costs and my recent lack of work (freelancer life).. but that said, it's a decent film to shoot with that doesn't really make me feel like i'm settling too much. I do agree about the flatness of it. It's a lot of grey, but I think that gives a good starting point when it comes to post-editing since you can take the contrast in either direction. I think you had a comment in the beginning, something about b&w films looking similar, but I think if you shoot different ones long enough, you can really tell the difference. I used to shoot Tri-X as my go-to and still feel like it's the top of the line for my tastes, with HP5 coming in second place. Kentmere feels a little softer than both of them overall, maybe because of the greyness, or the amount of grain.. dunno, but overall, it's still worth shooting if you're on a budget and don't wanna switch to digital... your video makes me think I should pick up some of that 100 iso in 120 size. I've been wanting to shoot more medium format, so why not? 🤷‍♂

    I pushed Kentmere 400 to 3200 before. Results were much more contrasty than at box speed, that's for sure. I developed Semi-Stand in HC-110 at a dilution factor of 1:63, for 45 minutes. 30 seconds of inversion at the start of the development, then 2 inversions every 9 minutes till the end.
