Comments about Kodak Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 24 Exposure, *USA*:

I develop at [...] and ask that the negatives be un-cut. Then I scan at 9600x9600 GS with all options off. Then do minimal gradient map post-processing in Photoshop.

Comments about Kodak Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 24 Exposure, *USA*:

I think this film is great! I first bought some at a drug store because it said it could be processed C-41, the same as color. I thought that was a cool feature. It's hard to find a place where I live that processes B&W film, and its usually more expensive than color. Works great in my Minolta SLR and the photos look excellent! I highly recommend it!

Comments about Kodak Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 24 Exposure, *USA*:

Picked this up on a goof on vacation at a local pharmacy when it caught my eye and I didnt have any B&W film. So I got it just to see what it would produce. Obviously not up to the standards of Ilford, but it was surprisingly good. Used it with Orange, Yellow and naked. I preferred the Yellow filter shots of the 3. I am happy with it and surprised at what it produced. Not for architecture or fine art.

No competition for Ilford XP2

Comments about Kodak Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 24 Exposure, *USA*:

When I bought this film I did not realize that it had a mask like ordinary color print film. I thought it was a competitor for Ilford XP2, which it is not. I don't need or want masked film, nor do I wish to be restricted to using color printing paper for my blow-ups. So the stuff is worthless to me.

Comments about Kodak Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 24 Exposure, *USA*:

This is my go-to film I grab whenever I feel like doing some recreational film shooting. It's got some surprising sharpness to it, a fine grain, and the fact you can get it so easily developed and printed even at any grocery or corner pharmacy just adds on to the handiness.

My only nitpick is that the contrast is a little flat and there's a slight color tint on it. Nothing you can't improve on in post processing, though. And for the price and convenience, this is one to buy and shoot freely.

Comments about Kodak Kodak Professional BW400CN, C-41 Process Black & White Negative Film ISO 400, 35mm Size, 24 Exposure, *USA*:

I volunteer teach at a private school and each year I give graduates 2 rolls of this film so they can continue their black and white interests(I teach them only b&w). I sometimes use it myself when I may not want to use the school darkroom during the hot summer months. (no AC)

I have experienced excellent results with this highly versatile film for many years. Its fairly fine grain permits great quality enlargements and the tonal range reproduces accurately. It's become my only choice for travel and landscape B&Ws!
