Kentmere Pan 200

ISO 200 N&B medium beginner

~5–8 €

Kentmere PAN 200 is a panchromatic ISO 200 B&W film from Harman Technology (Ilford group, Cheshire, UK), offered at a very competitive price. Fine grain, natural contrast, balanced tonal range. The intermediate ISO 200 speed makes it more versatile than the Pan 100 in changing light while staying finer than the Pan 400. Made in the same plant as Ilford films, with the same manufacturing processes and reliable quality control.

Atouts

+ ISO 200 — a grain/speed compromise

+ Affordable price

+ Standard B&W development

Limites

− Less documented than the 100 and 400

Kentmere is Harman Technology's budget brand, the parent company of Ilford. The Pan 200 is less well known than the Pan 100 and Pan 400, but it fills an interesting niche — at ISO 200, it's more flexible than the 100 in changing light while staying fine. Made in Mobberley (Cheshire), it shares the Ilford film DNA.
