Lucky SHD 400 Black & White film Review

Image
Lucky black-and-white film series was a film used for practice when I first learned film photography. As it was used for practice, it was very cheap for students to buy, and although it did not have the same quality as Kodak or Ilford, it was a good film to understand the characteristics of the film. When I first purchased Lucky film in 2010, there was only a film called Lucky SHD 100, and the ISO was also only 100. Recently, when I was looking around the Internet, there was a film with the ISO of 400 of the same name, so I bought it and used it. That film name is  Lucky SHD 400 This is a picture of the packaging and film of this film. The Package of Lucky SHD 400   It has a normal design of packaging. It's quite different from the ISO 100 design I used before. The Canister of this film. This film is contained in a canister made of plastic with the style of bulk film that sell from local film market. a t least it looks better than the well-crushed aluminum canister used in Luc...

Kentmere Pan 400 Black & White film : Old short review

Image
I've recently been having fun looking up old film photos stored on my old hard drive.  Over the years, I've been taking film pictures from time to time, and I've looked at what films I've used the most. Since I'm not rich, I thought it wouldn't be Kodak or Ilford's relatively expensive films. One of the films I've used noticeably a lot is Kentmere Pan 400 Film , The film I'm going to review briefly today. The Kentmere 400 film comes in beautiful box packaging. Certainly, I think the beginner film should be packed with impressive design to appeal to beginners. Kentmere Pan 400 is a black-and-white negative film produced by Harman Technology , the same company behind the iconic Ilford films. Designed as an affordable alternative, this film provides a solid balance of grain, contrast, and sharpness while maintaining a budget-friendly price. Maybe the most I've used this film is easy to get for the first reason, the second reason is that it's b...

Ultrafine Xtreme 400 Black & White film : Old short review

Image
 After I moved to Canada, I became very interested in film photography again. I've been taking film pictures in my spare time since I first started film photography in 2010, but I missed recording them meticulously. Fortunately, I still have short reviews about film products, Photos from film scans, and develop data, so I'm going to write a short review using them. The name of the film I'm going to review today is Ultrafine Xtreme 400. Ultrafine Xtreme 400 is a budget-friendly black and white film that has gained popularity among analog photography enthusiasts. With its affordability and versatility, it has become a favorite choice for those looking for a high-speed film without breaking the bank. I remember it was this packaging. I bought a handrolled film. This film with a cool name was found in a small film store in Korea by chance in the spring of 2019. At that time, I remember paying about almost 6 canadian dollar for a 36-cut bulk film.  It was half the price compare...
