Kentmere film

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

Kentmere film

Post by Niner » Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:13 pm

I thought I'd try some cheaper B&W film when I discovered a reference for this film. It's probably made in China for an English company and is imported from England and sold in the US by Adorama at $2.95 a roll for 36 exposures of B&W film that compares to TMAX 100 at 36 exposures at $4.95. The development time in D76 and Kodak fixer time is the same as TMAX.

Tried a roll with my Yashica Dental eye II. Seems as good as TMAX ...at least with my skill level.

The images attached are untouched.

I used to use Kentmere papers when I was in my darkroom and the quality was excellent. - just my ability that was lacking some :roll: :roll:

Same film in Maxxum 5. Developed today.

You can'd do fuzzy camera shake photos like one I did in one of these with a digital camera! Well... not that you would want to either.
