Posed to become the new standard BW film

Unlike Pan 100, which is my favorite film in its speed category, Pan 200 is a newcomer and below is just my first impressions of the first roll. First of all, it feels like a new emulsion, because despite one stop extra speed over Pan 100 that it reaches in ID-11, not in a phenidone developer, this film also develops to box speed faster than Pan 100. Second, advertised elevated contrast only shows under certain conditions, and closely following Ilford tech sheet recommendations I did not get a visual difference in contrast between Pan 100 and Pan 200 in ID-11 stock. Extra stop of speed, however, does not translate into more visible grain. And indeed, in a phenidone developer you get a solid push to EI 400. Previously, one did not get it so easily in a film in this price bracket. The film dries very flat, looks more transparent than Pan 100 and scans very well. One can also see on the margin proudly displayed “Kentmere Pan 200” like in a more expensive Ilford film.

I recall many years ago standing in a photo store when an elderly lady walked in and demanded “a film”. The shop assistant, without a slightest hesitation, gave her a box with 200 ASA color negative film and she walked out. I think Pan 200 has all the features to become the most used black and white film, seriously challenging its contemporary cousins. And unless you are into very low light photography, I do not see why not.
