Kentmere PAN 200 - 120

Finally a budget black and white film that doesn't feel like a compromise—the grain is surprisingly fine for the price and it handles medium format beautifully. I shot a whole roll of landscapes and the tonal range came out richer than I expected for a student film.

I’ve been using this 120 roll for my medium format camera and the tonal range is really impressive for the price. The negatives develop cleanly with great mid-tone detail even in tricky lighting.

I was a little nervous shooting my first roll of 120 film, but this one made it easy—the exposure latitude felt forgiving enough that even my metering mistakes printed fine. For the price per roll, it's a solid pick for testing out medium format without worrying about wasting frames.
