I definitely agree they deserve better than to be dismissed as ‘beginner’ film. Not that that would be a bad thing though? If it means cheap and easy to use? What’s bad about either of those things? 🙂

I’ve always got moderate contrast from this 400 one though yes, but got a lot more out of the 100 version. And more recently the new Kentmere 200 also (which by the way might just be the best ISO 200 monochrome film out there now?)

Yeah, I don’t know anymore tbh Mike. One day I read that Rollei and Agfa APX are this Kentmere and Ilford Pan 400 might be too, another day I read that they aren’t. I’ve given up trying to give a definitive opinion either way. 🙂
