I think I need to try Kentmere 400. Looks really nice. Does this have any of the scratching and curling problems that something like Fomapan 400 has, or is it more well behaved?
@Jman13, I've never tried Fomapan 400 (though I'm sure @Desmolicious has), but no scratching so far with Kentmere 400. It's an Ilford/Harman product, so QC is top notch. I use distilled water for the developing and final wash, and the film dries perfectly flat - great for digitizing/scanning. It does have somewhat weak anti-halation, so very bright highlights might glow a bit. Depending on your preference, that's either a feature or a bug. I'm part way through my second bulk roll, and I've only had one instance where the weak anti-halation was a problem, where a very overexposed (right) edge of a frame piped light and slightly fogged the (left) edge of the next frame.
Speaking of bulk rolls, at the current price (~$70 per 100-foot), it's probably one of the best cost/value B&W films available. I've gotten 18 (+a few shorter rolls) 36-exposure rolls, which breaks down to about $3.88/36-exposure roll. I just ordered two more bulk rolls from Freestyle.
