I have been shooting ilford Kentmere film stock quite a bit recently and it has really impressed me with how it performs especially as it is a very affordable film in this day and age.
I wanted to see how it looked when pushed compared to HP5 which I really love when pushed one or 2 stops.
I loaded my Minolta XG9 and set the camera to 800 and went for a little walk, it was really overcast so 800 was ideal.
I developed it in ilford DD-X and scanned using my Epson v600.
The images were great, no problem with the exposure and even though the grain was pretty noticeable it didn’t spoil the look and was on a par with my usual HP5.
This has to be the best value, quality B&W film stock on the market as it is less than £5 per roll here in the UK and is so versatile.
Here is the whole roll, nothing special but it gives an idea how this film looks …
All images on my blog are available as prints just drop me an email
