Nice, this would probably make a great stitched panorama too.
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?
While I shot mostly digital on my recent trip to Prince Edward Island, I did bring my Mamiya C330 along with me and shoot a few rolls. I have only developed two so far...the third I'll probably develop Wednesday.

@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.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I see it's only for 35mm, which is a bummer (I pretty much only shoot 120 when I shoot film).
