help Kentmere 400 FAQ
What ISO speed is Kentmere 400?
Kentmere 400 has a nominal speed of ISO 400/27°. That makes it suitable for ordinary daylight, overcast conditions, and relatively low-light photography.
How does Kentmere 400 compare with Ilford HP5 Plus?
Both are ISO 400 panchromatic black-and-white films intended for general-purpose use. Kentmere 400 is positioned as a more budget-oriented stock, while HP5 Plus has a longer-established reputation for broad exposure latitude and classic documentary use.
Can Kentmere 400 be used indoors without flash?
Its ISO 400 rating gives it more flexibility indoors than ISO 100 or ISO 200 films, especially with a fast lens. In dim rooms, you may still need a tripod, slower shutter speeds, or a tested push-processing approach.
