BERGGER Pancro 400 is a two emulsion film , composed with silver bromide and silver iodide. They differ by the size of their grain. These properties allow a wide exposure latitude. Cristals are precipitated by double-jet process, under the control of a computer. The two emulsions are panchromatic, and are stabilized by high tech systems.
BERGGER Pancro400 in 135 is coated on a 135 microns acetate base and includes DX Coding. It is designed with an undercoated anti-halation layer which clarifies during processing, and a anti-curling layer. https://bergger.com/nos-produits/films/pancro400-35.html
I needed a new challenge so I ordered this film in 35 and 120 formats. I shot the film with my Nikon FM3a, with the 50mm 1.8 pre-D lens attached. I developed the roll in Rodinal for 8 minutes @20C. I agitated the film for the first 30 seconds, then 10 seconds each minute thereafter. I fixed the film for 6 minutes, according the manufacturer’s recommendation. The results were ‘interesting’, each shot (subject) varied to a significant degree. The grain can be overwhelming but it works sometimes. I am not disappointed with my first roll. It will require some time before I know how this film works and when to use it.

For subject matter, I like the shed photo best. The door being slightly askew suggests some history and makes me wonder about its past. All very nicely done.

The shed is all that remains of a homesite between 2 other homes. I have ridden past the site before (on my bicycle) and this time decided to give the shot a chance with the new film.

There was an Agfa B/W film I used in Germany in the 70s that had the same kind of grey/black gradient, looking at the computer screen and comparing it with my memories of printing on poly paper back then.
I’m also a sucker for the play of light in leaves.

I would like to see these negatives in the darkroom but that may never be. The 2 darkrooms I visit are closed but even when open it was difficult for me to get into an experimental and creative mood.
