Kodak T400 CN (35mm, 400 iso) User-Review

This is the ancestor of Kodak BW 400CN. This film is black and white, process-ready for C-41 chemicals but is already discontinued around 2003-2004. Perhaps having them are films already expired or used (good for doubles). One of my favorite B/W film!

Delving up something from a film-turned-digital photographer friend of mine, she gave out some Kodak T400CN out from her stash for me to endeavor noir-et-blanc photography. The film indeed is sharp. ISO400 never misses much details and the contrast balance are purely a chic to the eyes. Underexposed shots produce grainy motions (if you are the type who love this).

I love the look of this film because of the “not-so-black” and white. The colours are true to your eyes. Shooting outdoors or indoors, I place in my mind to follow Lomography Rule#10 whatever the results are. I loaded most of my Kodak T400CN in my Zorki4K. Rangefinders aren’t as easy as “shoot from the hip” but I adore the outcome. I love this film since it is C-41 washable; less hassle in the labs or anything. Just shoot and process them in your most wanted photo-lab center.

Many love retro, black and white shots. I am sure this Kodak T400CN can bestow all your needs.
