I like this film but probably prefer Tri-x better but this is easier to get processed. Nice even tones though.

I have used this product extensively - mainly with a Nikon F3 or Nikon F100 - in bright daylight and also in poor lighting. The quality of print is consistently good. Sharp, great contrast and definition. It scans beautifully too. The ease of processing is another plus that makes this a good film to have in my bag.

With the ability to be pushed or pulled it is by far the best chromogenic film on the market today. It responds well with the use of red and yellow filters however exposure times must be calculated to avoid under-exposure.

This is great for when you want a black and white film you can get developed anywhere via C-41. Fine grain and good response, plus relatively high speed (ISO 400) makes it a good choice for a general film. It does have an orange mask for printing, but when scanned this is easier to color balance out than any color print film, because you already know it should scan as panchromatic.

Kodak BW400CN is my everyday film. It is easy to get developed locally at places that develop C-41 film; with traditional film, I have to send those out of state for developing. I found that BW400CN can be overexposed at ISO 100 to ISO 1600. I accidently overexposed BW400CN at 100 when I forgot to change the ISO after shooting Kodak T-Max 100 and the images turned out good and I intentionally underexposed it at ISO 1600 and the images were great. I first used BW400CN for the final Space Shuttle landing and I rediscovered that B&W has a classic look, a beauty about the photographs. The tonal quality is variable and I haven't been able to put my finger on the why. I can get a lot of photographs that look like traditional B&W, other times, the images come back with a sepia tone.

It does the job at a good price. Even for the amuter photographer.

I love this film. Plenty of film processing locations. So, good to use when traveling. Wide range on same roll, have shot multiple ISO from 200 to 800 with normal processing with good results. Digital lite. Not much contrast when scanned; performs well with filters similar to standard B&W. Printing on color paper does give print a slightly warm cast. Haven't tried printing on B&W paper.

Not as "contrasty" as I had hoped, but very adequate.

Most places won't process B&W film. This process C-41 film can be handled by most remaining labs. I get it developed and high-res scans. The results are very, very good. I've done a lot of winter/snow scenes with it and it works great.

As much as I love silver based B&W film, it is getting more troublesome for me to use. This C-41 B&W film is a very good alternative. Rated at 400 speed, it is very good. Rated at 320 speed, it is excellent. And rated at 800, it is worth while. I have tried most of the C-41 BW films and the Kodak serves me best. It has become my mainstay for 35mm B&W shooting.
