Ilford Pan F Plus (ASA 50)

Observations: Pan F Plus’s grain is extremely fine, and it rendered grey tones in a nice and rich way. Shadow brightness was somewhat disappointing, though. I would have expected a slower film stock like this to show shadow regions with just a bit more detail. I also found Pan F to be a little on the unforgiving side in terms of exposure setting mistakes. If I was more than a stop off of what I should have made an exposure at, I definitely noticed it.
