Kentmere film 200 135/24

Kentmere PAN 200 is a black and white negative film with a medium ISO 200 sensitivity, offering an excellent balance between image quality and versatility. It is ideal for shooting in daylight, studio settings, urban streets, travel, or other conditions with sufficient ambient light. This film produces detailed negatives with controlled, pleasing grain structure, suitable for both traditional photo enlargements and high-resolution negative scanning.

The film delivers clean shadows, clear midtones, and bright highlights. Its higher contrast helps create distinctive monochrome photographs while maintaining good tonal gradation.
