Ilford Kentmere 400
Ilford Kentmere 400 is a budget-friendly black-and-white film praised for its reliable mix of contrast, grain structure, and a pleasing tonal range at its native ISO 400. An added bonus is how well it handles push processing—particularly to ISO 800 or 1600—making it a great option for lower-light scenarios or when you want a bolder, grittier aesthetic.
To push Kentmere 400, simply set your camera (or light meter) to the desired higher ISO and shoot the entire roll at that rating. Once you’ve finished shooting, just let us at Picture This Film Lab know when you bring it in for development; we’ll adjust the processing time at no extra cost. By pushing this film, the grain becomes more pronounced, and contrast intensifies, producing a dramatic look that has real character—something digital simulations struggle to replicate. This combination of affordability, versatility, and eye-catching analog texture makes Kentmere 400 an excellent choice for both newcomers and seasoned film photographers looking to experiment with push processing.
