About this deal

Sony A7R Mark III - The Best Digital Camera for Image Documentation - Featuring the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Perhaps a good way to sum this up and compare this film against a more popular, well-known emulsion such as Tri-X would be to say; if you like the grit and texture of Tri-X (or HP5) but want a more extended tonality or softer contrast to your image then RPX 400 makes an excellent choice. While we are talking about similar films to Kentmere 400 I should mention AGFA APX 400 vs Kentmere 400. My local lab as stopped selling the current APX 400 film as stated that is it just re-badged Kentmere 400. I have no evidence of this but it is a reputable source so I have no reason to doubt. What this means is if you also shoot with AGFA APX 400 film you probably don’t need to buy Kentmere 400 film too.

The more I shoot and develop HP5 in 120 the more I think this THE film to use in a medium format camera. It is so versatile, you can use it under any light conditions including night photography because you can easily push is to 1600 or 3200, grain is not an issue at this size of negative, it offers great tonality and it is reasonably priced. View from Nymphaio village, we went to see a bear sanctuary located there. Bronica SQ-B, Zenzanon 80mm PS f/2.8, HP5, Rodinal 1+50 View from old commercial port of Thessaloniki, it is now gentrified with cafes, restaurants, and museums. Bronica SQ-B, Zenzanon 80mm PS f/2.8, HP5, Rodinal 1+50It seems safe to assume that Harmon (maker of Kentmere and Ilford films) does the coating/finishing of this film, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say that this emulsion is simply Kentmere or HP5 as many claim. Regardless, this film, to me, is surprisingly high quality for one so cheap. It has low contrast with good latitude (define latitude), and I’d say a medium to fine grain. It dries flat and is great for scanning. To give an introduction into the Rollei film brand, let's start with a story. There is some debate on whether this story is true or whether it is a myth, but we love it so much we are going to tell it anyway! Rollei is a company that although not considered the biggest (like Kodak or Zeiss), the oldest (like Voigtlander) or even 'the best' (arguably names such as Leica and Hassleblad), it has still developed a huge following of devoted film photographers who love their cameras, in particular the Rollei TLR. After the dissolution of IG Farben, Agfa emerged as its own independent company again before becoming a subsidiary of Bayer in 1952. In 1964, Agfa AG merged with Belgian photographic company Gevaert Photo-Producten N.V. to form Agfa-Gevaert N.V. which would remain under Bayer’s control until 1999. The company continued manufacturing film cameras until the early 1980s and then produced a series of unsuccessful entry-level digital cameras from the mid 1990s until the early 2000s.

There are different ways to over expose film. A common way if you lab develop your film is to meter the film in camera at say ISO 200 and then ask you lab to develop the film as normal. For Kentmere 400 this would be at ISO 400 giving a +1 stop over exposure (as you metered at ISo 200)(thereby giving the camera +1 stops of extra light on each image).

Conclusion

This review was done with a Canon EOS Elan 7, the Sigma 85mm f1.4 and a Sigma 35mm f1.4 Ease of Use The next two films are what I would consider mid-range films preferred by documentary style photographers, where high quality and predictable results are important, but going through rolls and rolls of it necessitates keeping the price point low.
