[Leica] Testing a new film: Oriental Seagull

[Gerry Walden]

I have also read that it is Kentmere film, made by Harman. Kentmere has always been a cheaper version of Ilford here in the UK, so maybe it is a different formulation. Certainy you seem to get the best out of it.

About the film I’ve read somewhere it is manufactured by Harmann, who manufactures as well Ilford, Kentmere, Agfa and Rollei, but it is only sold in China or Japan, and it become quite expensive. Good eye my friend! I’ve read somewhere also it has a look or maybe formulation very close to the Neopan 400.
