sblitz Posted July 10, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Rummaging through old threads, this "new" film was mentioned in early 2015. Got an email today from Freestyle in LA (place where I order the Cinestill film, competitive prices vs B&H and Adorama, as it should be since it is LA the other big media city in the US), about this Bergger Pancro 400 -- has anyone used it? Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldwino Posted July 11, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2017 I have some in 120 and 135. I've only managed to shoot one roll of 135, which I developed in Xtol 1+1. Very long and smooth tonal range, not particularly fine grained. Seems to give an almost "silvery" look to the images. The size limitation will wreak havoc on the resolution, but the overall feel of the film is clear: Welcome, dear visitor!

sblitz Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks! Its fun to have so many choices for b&w today. I like the silver look, this looks nice, thanks for posting, I use adox 100 chs ii and Eastman xx along with the usual ilford and Kodak offerings.

oldwino Posted July 11, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2017 I've been using mostly Kentmere 400 and XX. I really like the Kentmere - it's got a classic look and very nice grain. XX is nice too. I am going to explore the Bergger Pancro a little more for sure. I'm planning on a hike in the mountains and that film in my SWC might be a fun combo. And an orange filter.

tobey bilek Posted August 14, 2017 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2017 Shoot at 200 with B+W 022 filter. Lovely images, not sterile like modern films. Cut you development time 20% for 200 from 400. Do not mix iso on roll as it is not as forgiving as they would have you believe. If you scan, add a contrast increase curve 200 or 400. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
