Who's it for? It's packaging is super cute and it's good film at great value priced at only US$8.25, so it would make a great gift, especially for young people.

Experienced people can make it work for them. I'll be using some, even if I stick to HP5+/FP4+ as my main 135 films.

It's a general purpose film, not a special effect film.

It's fully panchromatic. All exposures came out fine, except one which was down to user error. I see no bromide drag, the emulsion is consistently coated and there's no problems that I can see.

I haven't printed it yet, but from experience of similar films I suspect it will print even better than it scans.

Overall, it's good quality, freshly manufactured film that's been coated, cut, edge marked and packaged in factory.

I can't disclose the emulsion or manufacturer, but it's a good film from a respected name.

The base isn't clear. Some people prefer that, others don't.

I'm told it has a high silver content, and a mixed emulsion for different grain sizes. It seems a littly grainy.

Highlights aren't super dense. It's not low contrast, but good dynamic range with gradual shoulder/toe.

This is what #CFPKiKiPan negatives looks like. Standard exposure and processing in Berspeed and I've checked with Camera Film Photo that they came out as expected.

Disclaimer: I've no stake in CFP or KiKi Pan, or their suppliers, but I know them well and get most of my consumables there. This roll is an advanced sample on the main shipment which they will probably have in stock later this week.

Link to their website below. I get no commission etc.

Someone called Douglas King asked if they can edit the Twitter Alt Account spreadsheet.

Sorry, my policy is to do the edits myself. Toot or DM the info to me.

I shoot film not because it is easy, but because it is hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of my energies and skills, because that challenge is one that I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, and one I intend to do well.
