Thank you very much, Tom. I appreciate the kind words. FWIW, I really like kentmere 400. I find it a very nice film. Granier than triX but not as "harsh" as hp5+. Just a nice all around film and extremely cheap considering I bulk load.

I've got some Kentmere 100 in my B & H basket now. The price of this film is just too good to pass up. I'm fully stocked with many bricks of Neopan 400 for awhile.
I've got probably 130 feet of kentmere 100 here. A great film. Easier to blow the highlights compared to some films and gives that "glow" in the highlights that some prefer, probably due to a weak antihalation layer. However, I find it very sharp, nearly grainless in hc110 and contrasty. Just a nice, classic emulsion. Obviously fp4+ is a nicer emulsion however it does respond differently.
I've got a ton of images to work through so will be posting a bunch this weekend. Plus just took possession of 2 new Nikons, an ft2 and an n90s plus a slew of lenses so I know I will be putting them through their paces in the coming weeks.

Still shoot my n90... Great camera if you get a working one. Be prepared for a potentially sticky film door. The rubber coating gets sticky with age.

I powered it on, still a full charge on the battery. Looks brand spanking new. Everything seems to work. The kit came from a retired veterinarian. I don't think he used it much. However, as expected, the back is getting sticky.
