Kentmere 100 is relatively fine grain Panchromatic black & white film ideal for daylight Photography.  It has medium contrast, subtle tones, and very good exposure latitude.  Due to its affordability and broad exposure latitude it is an ideal film stock for beginners. Compared to Kentmere 400, it seems to have a little more contrast and punchier tones.When metering for this film we highly recommend erring on over exposure by metering for the shadows.

An instant Favorite

Rated 5 out of 5

Kentmere Pan 100 became an instant favorite of mine when I got my first roll of scans. The subtle detail captured in 35mm as well as a nice even balance of tones made beautiful images. There was some shadow detail loss, but for the price, I would argue there is no better option for someone wanting to try their first roll of black and white film.

I picked up this film with low expectations, but after shooting a roll and developing it, I was pleasantly surprised. With it being a 100 speed film, it has super sharp images and low grain. My only complaint, is that the shadows seem to lack some detail, but nothing too major.

I first picked up this film to test a new camera, and after developing I found that the quality of the images was outstanding. I really like the results and the price is definitely an added plus.
