Kentmere Pan 200 - 36exp
The sweet spot of classic British monochrome. Manufactured in Mobberley, Cheshire by Harman technology (the minds behind Ilford Photo), Kentmere Pan 200 bridges the gap between ultra-fine-grain daylight stocks and gritty high-speed film, offering the ideal balance of sharpness, latitude, and speed.
Whether you are navigating changeable weather, capturing unposed street scenes, or testing home development recipes, this medium-speed panchromatic negative film delivers dependable tones and crisp resolution at an accessible price point.
The Highlights
-
The Versatile Mid-Speed: Rated at ISO 200, this stock provides an extra stop of shutter speed over 100-speed films without introducing the pronounced grain of ISO 400. It is perfectly tuned for hand-held shooting through shifting cloud cover and open shade.
-
Controlled Grain & Micro-Contrast: Features a tight, uniform silver-halide structure that preserves fine textures and sharp edges, yielding clean results whether printing under an enlarger or scanning with a digital setup.
-
Wide Exposure Latitude: Delivers an forgiving dynamic range that handles challenging contrast with ease, maintaining delicate shadow details alongside controlled highlight roll-off.
-
Predictable Lab & Home Processing: Fully compatible with virtually all standard black-and-white developers, including Ilford ID-11, Ilfotec DD-X, Kodak D-76, and Rodinal.
