Kentmere Pan 100 - 36exp
Classic British monochrome quality without the premium price tag. Produced in the UK by Harman technology (the makers of Ilford), Kentmere Pan 100 is a medium-speed panchromatic black-and-white film engineered for photographers who demand clean, dependable results across bright daylight and studio setups.
Whether you are learning home darkroom development, loading up a street walk camera, or shooting deliberate landscape work, Kentmere 100 delivers tight grain, smooth mid-tones, and broad exposure latitude that forgives small metering errors.
The Highlights
-
Fine Grain & Crisp Acutance: Boasting a tight, uniform grain structure, this emulsion resolves clean edges and sharp textures—making it an excellent choice for darkroom enlargement prints or high-resolution flatbed scanning.
-
Balanced Tonal Range: Unlike steep, high-contrast surveillance emulsions, Kentmere Pan 100 serves up smooth grey gradations, rich shadow detail, and clean, unblown highlights.
-
Forgiving Exposure Latitude: Features broad dynamic latitude that comfortably absorbs slight over- or underexposure while still delivering printable negatives.
-
Universal Chemistry Compatibility: Develops smoothly across all common black-and-white chemistries—including Ilford ID-11, Kodak D-76, Rodinal, and Ilfotec DD-X.
