<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Harman has announced Kentmere Pan 200, a brand-new black-and-white film stock available in 35mm (in 36 and 24 exposure DX coded cassettes and 35mm bulk length rolls) as well as 120 roll film. <\/p>\n
Kentmere is a sub-brand of Harman (similar to Ilford) and is manufactured in the United Kingdom with the same processes that are used to make all of Harman\u2019s Ilford films and papers. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe expanding Kentmere range of high-quality yet affordable products now includes some of the best value black & white films, variable contrast papers and filters available, making them ideal for students or those getting started in analogue photography,\u201d Harman says. <\/p>\n
Kentmere Pan 200 is described as a versatile film that is formatted to provide a more contrasty look than other Ilford films. It joins Pan 100 and Pan 400, which were originally 35mm film stocks that made available in 120 format back in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cKentmere PAN 200 is an ISO 200 black and white film, with enhanced contrast, pleasing, well-controlled grain, and good sharpness, making it suitable for most shooting applications and conditions,\u201d Harman explains. \u201cThe film has a clear, \u2018low-density base,\u2019 with a lower dmin which enables the higher contrast, whilst retaining shadow detail and ensuring well-controlled grain in the darker areas.\u201d<\/p>\n Harman says that all Kentmere films are panchromatically sensitized, which the company says makes them well suited to darkroom printing and allows them to be processed in a wide range of different black and white film developers.<\/p>\n Below are a few photos captured on Kentmere Pan 200, provided courtesy of Harman:<\/p>\n New options for analog photographers aren\u2019t common, but there are occasional new options that play with tone and color \u2014 Harman Phoenix<\/a>, Harman Red<\/a>, and Dubbelfilm Stereo<\/a> are perfect examples and Cinestill has the occasional new option<\/a>, too. Still, these typically release at a slow cadence, and it\u2019s not uncommon to wait a few years between new film launches. It is much rarer to see a brand-new, \u201cdaily driver\u201d versatile emulsion like Kentmere Pan 200 appears to be. <\/p>\n It can take months or years to develop a new film \u2014 just look at how much work Light Lens Lab is putting into the development of its new black and white emulsion<\/a>. Because of the difficulty involved in making new films, some fight over the distribution rights when a new film is even announced, as is the case with Lucky\u2019s upcoming new color negative film<\/a>. All of this is to say that Harman\u2019s new Kentmere Pan 200 is an exciting new option for analog photographers, regardless of price. <\/p>\n Speaking of price, Harman doesn\u2019t set MAP pricing for its films and that includes Kentmere Pan 200; retailers can charge what they decide. That said, looking at the cost of other Kentmere 35mm rolls, photographers can expect Pan 200 to be available for about $8 for 35mm while rolls of 120 will be around $7. The new film is available starting today from retailers globally.<\/p>\n Image credits:<\/strong> Harman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harman has announced Kentmere Pan 200, a brand-new black-and-white film stock available in 35mm (in 36 and 24…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3939],"tags":[40940,40941,40942,40943,3062,4021,4020,4022,77,3063,40944,140,40945,40946,40947,40948,40949,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-85011","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-40940","9":"tag-120film","10":"tag-35mm","11":"tag-35mmfilm","12":"tag-analog","13":"tag-arts","14":"tag-arts-and-design","15":"tag-design","16":"tag-entertainment","17":"tag-film","18":"tag-harman","19":"tag-ilford","20":"tag-kentmere","21":"tag-kentmerepan100","22":"tag-kentmerepan200","23":"tag-kentmerepan400","24":"tag-newfilm","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114473077679960959","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Black-and-white](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Michelle-Portrair-35mm-533x800.jpg\")
