Kentmere 400

Here we go with a roll almost entirely shot in Naples last October, developed quite steadily and buried in the hard drive because I don’t know why. This was our first family trip in Naples (the city of) but you can find a blog post about a pre-pandemic trip to Pompei scrolling down the blog. So, as it happens frequently during family trips, I just go around with the camera on my neck, thinking mostly about what to eat, what to drink, where to go etc. and absolutely not thinking about shooting my pictures decently – given that I’m supposed […]

Kentmere 400

Well, this is kinda cliché but it is true: I totally forgot this roll last summer, actually with another still undeveloped roll, so when I found it I was really unable to recall what pictures were inside it.

This things are slowly disappearing so it’s more difficult to find a public phone on the streets by now. I can’t even […]

Kentmere PAN 400

One of the cheapest – if not The Cheapest – black and white film you can buy nowadays, that’s the Kentmere 400, introduced in 2009 by Harman “as a lower priced brand to their Ilford offer to compete in the US market” (thanks Wikipedia!). I have no instrument to compare Kentmere 400 to Ilford HP5+ so let’s assume that this is a completely different emulsion, even if it’s a just a rebranded HP5+. So, what’s interesting here? What a silly question, obviously the only interesting thing is the donkeys! They are so cute!
