Kodak EKTAPAN 400 Schwarzweiß-Negativfilm - 35mm Rollfilm, 36 Aufnahmen (ISO 400)

I’ve shot a lot of ISO 400 black and white rolls, and this one keeps the grain remarkably tight while holding crisp detail in the midtones. The low-grain look really shows when you enlarge a frame, so it’s become my go-to for portraits where I want a clean, sharp negative.

The edge sharpness on this stuff is no joke—my street shots have a crispness I didn’t get with other 400s, and the grain stays surprisingly clean even when I push it. Shot a roll at a dim cafe and the mid-tones came out with this lovely, defined contrast. Definitely ordering another three rolls.

Finally, a 400-speed film that doesn’t look like mush. The low grain really makes a difference in my street shots, even in flat afternoon light.
