I have a troubled history with 200-speed films. They’ve always given me more trouble and often try too hard, which can be detrimental. I struggled to find a way through Fomapan 200 and Rollei Superpan 200. Both Svema and Derev Pan 200-speed offerings were far more trouble than they’re worth. And then last year, along came Kentmere 200, a middle child for the Kentmere budget offerings. In all these colour film releases, Kentmere 200 took a backseat. But I latched onto Kentmere 200 almost right away. I already enjoyed Kentmere 100 and Kentmere 400, and the first flush of Kentmere 200 proved a solid performer. It’s an outstanding balance between the 100 and 400 options, handling situations well and offering a good grain structure, sharpness, and contrast. I ran this film through a lot of tests last year<\/a> in preparation for this review, so I’m finally happy to publish it online! You can also find additional images from that first look, as well as more I shot last year and developed with different developers at the end of this post.<\/p>\n
