Digitising Negatives

A walk with Ilford FP4 Plus 125

Written by Webmaster March 23, 2021March 26, 2021

This is the second roll of film I have put through my aging Pentax KM and I’m very much more pleased with these results than for the Kentmere 400 (also an Ilford product) that I tried first. Now, that could be down to inexperience, it was the first roll of film I had developed in […]

Digitising Negatives

Nailing the Film Experience

Written by Webmaster March 22, 2021March 22, 2021

Not being able to accurately digitise film makes it pretty difficult to work out if you actually took good pictures or not. Was the focus off, was the lighting good, was the subject matter sufficiently interesting to even bother! This is exactly the position I found myself in recently when I decided to experiment with […]

A day out with Ilford FP Plus 125

Written by Webmaster March 9, 2021March 9, 2021

A recent shoot using Kentmere 400 resulted in decidedly indifferent results so yesterday morning I decided to shoot and process some Ilford FP Plus 125 B&W film that I have in the fridge using the same camera as for the Kentmere but with a different lens. The basic idea was to shoot the full 36 […]

So what does expired film look like?

Written by Webmaster February 21, 2021February 25, 2021

Well, that depends on your perspective of course. You could argue that that’s it’s bloody amazing to get anything off a Kodak Gold 200 110 format film from 1997 (from an old Minolta all-weather / underwater camera) that’s been laying around in a drawer for almost 23 years. On the other hand you could argue […]

Kentmere 400 – Development Process

Written by Webmaster February 21, 2021February 24, 2021

PART 2: Film Development As I mentioned in PART 1, Kentmere 400 is a part of the Ilford stable of products. It’s a low cost B&W 35mm film that often pitches up against Fomapan 400, Ilford HP5+ and Ilford FP125. Now I’ve used Ilford films in the past so I am aware of their characteristics […]

Kentmere 400 – Worth the Effort?

Written by Webmaster February 21, 2021February 21, 2021

PART 1: Using Film Again!! Recently I decided to step back 40 odd years and shoot 35mm film. I’m fortunate in that I still have my old Pentax KM from the 1970’s so a quick check over, new battery and a good clean, and bingo, the old girl purred back into life. Not knowing how […]
