Seeing If Kentmere 200 Is Any Good...

[Andrew O'Neill]

What developing time did you use for Xtol R in all of those films? I have not found a satisfactory time yet.

Craig, I used: K100 9min; K200 8.5min; K400 9.5min. 3min prebath

@John Wiegerink I'll probably pick up a box of assorted Timbits. Just pop them in your mouth and go!

@retina_restoration great idea! I will definitely compare Tri-X and K400.

Great, I look forward to that! Thanks.

@retina_restoration Yes, it definitely seems like Kodak is in an aggressive strategy to undercut the competition right now. 35mm prices are even closer together. But I assume in Europe (and possibly Canada) things are different.

In Canada right now,
for 35mm: 120:
Tri X: $16.00 $18.49
K200: $9.99 (all speeds) $8.99
HP5: $12.98 $13.29

In 120, Kodak is twice the price of Kentmere.

@Craig Wow, yes completely different situation!

It is, TMX is $22 a roll. In colour, Portra 400 is $26 a roll and Portra 800 is $32.

Kodak is expensive in Canada.
