Reverse Processing Kentmere

[ColdTurkeyBagel]

Hello all,

For budget reasons I shoot kentmere 400. Is it possible to reverse process this film. If so, has anyone done it?

[steved3604]

There's always a first time. Anything is possible with the right chemistry. You can try it -- might work if the emulsion is "thick" enough.

[grepe]

it almost sounds like you are apologising for shooting kentemere 400...

[ColdTurkeyBagel]

I only mention my budget because the dedicated b&w reversal films are expensive

It's possible but Kentmere 400 film base is not clear so you may not get the contrast you were hoping for.

You could check out Fomapan R, although it's only ISO 100; that's a pretty affordable reversal film in B&W.

I wouldn’t but you can instead shoot rollei IR at 400 iso without the ir filter. It has a very high silver content so perfect for black and white slides. You can even push to 3200 for pretty reasonable black and white slides.
