Author Archives: Philip Harrison

Phil spent 25 years as a professional photographer after leaving Photographic College in the early 1970’s. In his early years, he worked as a medical photographer, based in a hospital in the north of the UK and later came upon a change of direction to industrial photography and film/TV production. In the late 90’s Phil gave up professional photography and trained as a Train Guard, retiring a some years ago. He mainly uses "standard" lenses (35mm/50mm depending on format) with his cameras. He feels this makes him work harder and the resultant images are better. He doesn't specialise with his photography, enjoying photographing anything that appeals.

Kentmere Pan 400 at EI3200 – A low-cost, high speed alternative?

by Philip HarrisonDecember 19, 2021December 19, 2021

Recently I looked at Kentmere Pan 400 made by HARMAN/ILFORD in the UK. I showed 5 Frames shot at box speed with my Leica M6 and 35mm f/2.4 Summarit-M. I was very pleasantly pleased with the prints I made from this film. How about rating the film for a higher EI (aka underexposing it and […]

5 Frames… At Helmshore Textile Mill with Kentmere Pan 400 on a Leica 35mm f/2.4 Summarit-M and Leica M6

by Philip HarrisonOctober 25, 2021October 25, 2021

I was looking into the story of how Kentmere Pan 400 came to be made by HARMAN/ILFORD in the UK. Fotoimpex who own ADOX, a well established film manufacturing company in Europe, asked HARMAN to make a film that they could sell to replace the Afga APX400 film after the Agfa factory closed. The formula […]

by Philip HarrisonOctober 5, 2018July 31, 2021

I know EMULSIVE is running a Portraparty, but me being a grumpy old-aged pensioner, I don’t have any social media accounts (although I do read some).

5 Frames… With ILFORD FP4 PLUS (EI 125 / 35mm format / Leica M2)

by Philip HarrisonJune 18, 2018July 31, 2021

It must be 30 years since I’ve used ILFORD FP4 PLUS, of course, it was plain FP4 in those days (I stopped using it before the PLUS arrived in 1990).

Camera review: getting back on the bike with the Intrepid 4×5

by Philip HarrisonMay 7, 2018July 31, 2021

It sounds very grand when you tell people that you are having a field camera made for you. I certainly felt grand and excited when I placed my order for an Intrepid 4×5 with blue bellows and lens board.

5 Frames… With Bergger Pancro 400 (EI 200 / 35mm format / Leica M2)

by Philip HarrisonFebruary 2, 2018July 31, 2021

A lot has been written about Bergger Pancro 400 on this website, so this is me just adding my small bit to the general happiness people get from using this film.

Film review: Film Washi S 50 ISO (35mm) black and white negative film

by Philip HarrisonNovember 30, 2017July 3, 2021

The film cassette label states that the S stands for Sound Recording Film. I wondered how a film designed for making movie sound tracks would fare in conventional photography.

A word on: Cinestill 800T (35mm)

by Philip HarrisonAugust 18, 2017July 3, 2021

I thought CineStillFilm 800T would be a fun film to try and used my Leica M2 and Summarit-M 50mm f2.5 lens (with lens hood) to shoot a roll in and around the Manchester Art Museum, Rylands Library and the surrounds.
