  1. It's amazing. My favorite film is Kodak 125 Plus-X (and I keep in my fridge 2 bricks of them), so I had compared both films (kentmere and plus-x) and I don't share your opinion regarding kentmere.
  2. I have used quite several b&w films over the past few years and although Kentmere is cheap I find this film very low contrast. Personnally I prefer using the same film for any circumstances. In terms of price, I find 35mm fomapan 100 & 400 very satisfactory.
  3. <p>Just ordered 10 rolls of Ultrafine Extrem 400. Keep you posted on this!</p>
  4. <p>John,<br> Well I kind of like the Extrem films 100 or 400 as well.<br> The 400 one might be grainy with several developers but, honestly, that hasn't been noticed by me.<br> Concerning Kentmere, I did try the film a several occasions. I am no expert but either I go with the massive dev chart or longer dev time, the results aren't satisfying to me in regard the contrast. That is unfortunate coz Kentmere films are very much affordable. <br> <br />Keep shooting films!</p>
  5. <p>I love that kind of thread.<br> Personnally, I have been exploring several films since my return to films some 6 years ago.<br> In terms of cost, Foma is pretty much affordable with films and paper (Arista EDU with Freestyle) and the results are very much reasonable.<br> In a recent past, Fujifilm was selling his last films under LegacyPro. They were fantastic films and at a good price. It's unfortunate it is now gone.<br> In Canada, the real problem is the transportation cost, especially from US. Otherwise, i would order a lot more from Ultrafine Online (Ultrafine Extrem 100 and 400) or from Freestyle (Foma products as well as Arista EDU). By the way, rumor has it that the Extrem line is Kentmere. Although the chart dev is quite similar, I find Extrem more constrasty that Kentmere which is rather flat.<br> I regret that Kodak 125 Plus-X is gone (still available on Ultrafine Online). Silvermax 100 does the job but it is costly.</p>
