TECHNICAL INFORMATION

A MEDIUM SPEED BLACK AND WHITE CAMERA FILM

KENTMERE PAN 100 is a medium speed black and white camera film which is suitable for a variety of

indoor and outdoor photography applications, where good lighting exists.

It has the capability to generate high quality images with fine grain and good sharpness and is a good choice

of film if enlargement prints are desired.

KENTMERE PAN 100 35mm film is coated on 0.125mm/5-mil acetate base and is available in 24 or 36

exposure cassettes, or in bulk lengths of 30.5 metres (100ft). KENTMERE PAN 100 35mm film is supplied in DX

coded cassettes, suitable for all 35mm cameras.

EXPOSURE RATING

KENTMERE PAN 100 has a speed rating of ISO 100/21º to daylight. The ISO speed rating was measured

using ILFORD ID-11 developer at 20ºC/68ºF with intermittent agitation in a spiral tank.

FILTER FACTORS

KENTMERE PAN 100 film may be used with all types of filters (e.g. colour, polarising and neutral density filters)

in the usual way. Follow the instructions given by the filter manufacturer.

The exposure increase in daylight may vary with the angle of the sun and the time of day. In the late afternoon

or the winter months, when daylight contains more red light, green and blue filters may need slightly more

exposure than usual.

Cameras with through-the-lens metering will usually adjust the exposure automatically when using filters. With

some automatic exposure cameras, the correction given for deep red and orange filters can produce negatives

under exposed by as much as 1½ stops.

MAKING LONG EXPOSURES

For exposures between 1 and 1/10 000 second, no

adjustments are needed for reciprocity law failure.

When exposures longer than 1 second are given,

KENTMERE PAN 100, along with other films, needs to

be given more exposure than indicated by a meter. Use

the graph to calculate the increased exposure time which

should be given once the metered time is known.

The graph is based on the formulae Ta = Tm

1.26

Ta = Adjusted Time

Tm = Metered Time

KENTMERE PAN 100 Technical Information DEVELOPMENT TIMES The table below gives development times for both manual and machine processing KENTMERE PAN 100. These times will produce negatives of average contrast suitable for printing in all enlargers. The development times are intended as a guide and may be altered if a different result is needed. For manual processing in spiral tanks and deep tanks, the development times are based on intermittent agitation.

KENTMERE PAN 100 Technical Information Processing at Different Temperatures KENTMERE PAN 100 film can be processed over a range of temperatures. Development times at temperatures other than 20°C/68°F may be calculated from the charts below. For example, if 4 minutes at 20°C/68°F is recommended, the time at 23°C/73°F will be 3 min and the time at 16°C/61°F will be 6 min.

KENTMERE PAN 100 Technical Information Fix The recommended fixers are ILFORD RAPID FIXER or ILFORD HYPAM FIXER. Wash Wash the films in running water for 5–10 minutes at a temperature within 5ºC (9ºF) of the process temperature. Or see note below for greater economy when using spiral tanks.
