I am very pleased with the results, especially for a cheap film. I actually may like shooting this film more than Ilford FP4+, Ilford&#8217;s more expensive and &#8220;better&#8221; sibling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn&#8217;t perfect. Looking back some of the pictures, areas of shadows (maybe the highlights) don&#8217;t separate as much as I think they should, but it&#8217;s not a game breaker by any means. The grain seems a bit better than what I was getting with Ilford&#8217;s other films, including FP4+ and Pan F. (That may be something in the development or the scanner. I&#8217;m kinda new to this so take that with a grain of salt.) I think this will be my new go-to for cheap film over the Fomapan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My friend had an Independence Day party, so it was another very good opportunity to grab some photos. As I&#8217;m posting this, I&#8217;m pretty far behind, but I&#8217;m starting to catch up. We had a bright sunny day to work with, so I had no problem with the 100 ISO Kentmere film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
