EI is the speed the film was rated at when shooting. Times marked “not yet verified” come from secondary sources and haven’t been checked against a manufacturer datasheet.

How they work together

Rodinal
Prominent grain, high acutance, full film speed, variable contrast. Sharp, dramatic, distinct edge effects.
Harman Technology Kentmere Pan 400
Harman's budget line. Clean, flat negative that scans well. Finer grain than Fomapan but less character.
Notes on this pairing
  • Higher contrast, pronounced grain.
  • Long development time creates pronounced grain.
  • Stand development: Agitate first minute, then leave undisturbed for 1 hour.
