tuileries + a test roll: kentmere pan 400
Rick Alarcon is a US photographer in Paris , France, specializing in portraits, events, and artistic photography.
My Canon needed new light seals, so I changed them and had to run something through it to test things out. What better than a cheap roll of black and white kentmere pan 400? I dunno, never used it, so let’s see. A bit from around town here, but I had to go to the gardens twice this week, so you might notice most are from around there.
Even though many consider it on underperforming end of the film stock spectrum, I didn’t find it that bad, really. It’s like that shit car that you use to go to work: dependable, does its job. It’s 400, so a little bit too gritty for my taste, but maybe their others iso are a bit nicer? Hmmm…further investigations needed. I have just bought a roll of the Pan 200, so let’s see if that is any better and I’ll let you know.
Speaking of buying more film, did you know you can help with that? Please visit my support page to find out how to help my work in analog photography! Much love to those who have done so already, it has been a great help. I thank you.
More color to come too!
