Kodak Professional Ektapan 400 Black & White Film
Kodak Professional Ektapan 400 is a versatile, high-speed black and white negative film that combines exceptionally fine grain with crisp detail and rich contrast. With an ISO 400 sensitivity, it gives photographers the flexibility to work across a wide range of lighting conditions, from sunny outdoor scenes to dimly lit interiors.
Its advanced T-Grain emulsion uses tabular silver halide crystals to produce a smooth, low-grain appearance with excellent sharpness and resolving power. Whether you're shooting portraits, architecture, landscapes or everyday moments, Ektapan 400 delivers detailed negatives that are well suited to high-resolution scanning and traditional darkroom printing.

We particularly like its clean grain structure and crisp edges for portraits and architectural photography. It is equally appealing for anyone who wants a versatile black and white film that produces beautifully detailed prints.

Ultra-Fine Grain with T-Grain Technology
Ektapan 400 uses a T-Grain emulsion with flat, tabular silver halide crystals. This advanced grain structure helps deliver a remarkably clean appearance for an ISO 400 film, preserving fine detail while keeping visible grain to a minimum.
Excellent Sharpness and Rich Contrast
High resolving power and crisp edge definition make Ektapan 400 particularly well suited to subjects where detail matters. Its strong contrast and broad tonal range give photographs depth and definition, from architectural textures to expressive black and white portraits.
Versatile ISO 400 Speed
With a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27deg., Ektapan 400 offers useful flexibility when shooting handheld, photographing moving subjects or working in lower light. It allows you to use faster shutter speeds or smaller apertures than a slower film in the same conditions.
Wide Exposure Latitude
Ektapan 400 offers broad exposure latitude, helping accommodate variations in exposure as lighting conditions change. Its tonal response provides flexibility for photographers working with highlights and shadows, while exposure and development choices can be used to shape the final result.
