Ilford PAN 400 135.36 black and white negative

The movie with the box sticking to it has pink letters on a black background, what else? PAN advertises the inscription, i.e., panchromatic sensitization, i.e., it perceives all visible colors equally, as opposed to orthochromatic. The manufacturer promises perfect contrast and excellent line sharpness associated with fine grain, even in challenging lighting conditions. In reality, the fine grain is questionable, but it can also be an advantage, as there are those in the Kodak TX 400 who are looking for this slightly dirty grain. Rumor has it that this film is identical to the old Ilford HP5, which was manufactured from 1976 to 1989, when it was replaced by the Ilford HP5 Plus. A former worker, on the other hand, claimed that this was actually the HP5 Plus, with only the parts from the edges of the casting being boxed under the name Pan400, and the middle, where the casting quality is perfect, being placed in HP5 Plus boxes. We know such a legend from elsewhere: at VW, the engines that perform a little worse on the test bench end up in Skodas, the one better ones get Seatos and only the top quality goes to Volkswagen. Of course, obviously. Part of the Ilford mystery is the fact that the PAN 400 isn’t marketed everywhere, we’re lucky. In the UK and US, for example, it is not available. Isn't that what you're looking for? Take a look around our Ilford movies! Short film size 36 exposures ISO 400 Call FF
