[Leica] Still pics with the ugly Kentmere 400

[Lluis Ripoll]

Thank you for your information and your example Jeffery, I have the RAW Chemicals in my darkroom to formulate D-96. Logtime ago I’ve deveped it with X-Tol, the contrast was good, shiny negatives but a certain lack of gradation and a gritty look, it is difficult to see throught the screen but I still see these aspects that make that this film is not for me, I really prefer Ilford HP5 or Tri-X developed on D-23.
