Kentmere 100@200

It’s inusual for me to push film but this time I felt it was safer to begin the roll with a more versatile setting, just in case.

And it’s been a good choice because the day at the beach wasn’t really sunny, but most of all because I’m generally more comfortable shooting at 1/250 and above. 100 ASA is’nt really flexible enough for handling heavy old cameras like my Yashica FR1 in a not-so-sunny day. Another reason to be happy is that Kentmere 100 seems to appreciate a lot to be pushed to 200: it does produce a very fine grain and it remains crisp and clear like it wasn’t pushed at all.

Oh, and you probably noticed that there’s a strong light leak on the left side of each picture (or at the top of the vertical ones). It’s more evident in pictures taken with the sun in front of the camera, so I suspect it’s not related to the seals on the back – also because they are new.
