My experiences on Berrger Pancro 400, processed in HC110 B.
Camera: Minolta XE-7, MC Rokkor lenses.
I found the film slightly grainier than Rollei RPX 400, but I really love the tonality Pancro 400 brings. Now bear in mind the photos I shot below were on a rather flat hazy day.

Really beautiful tones! Nice! What ISO are you rating it at?

Even the shots Erik doesn't like? I like. All these shots are good. I'm tending to attribute more to the photographer than necessarily the film... and take each at their own evaluation 'cause without knowing the sites or seeing a side-by-side comparison... unless the whole of it were bad... it's pretty hard to make conclusions.

Deklari, very nice work. The Bergger seems to do it well in D76! The world is full of surprises.

Flickr seems to like it: one of my Bergger shots is now in "Explore".
I have seven or eight shots in "Explore".

Thanks Erik. I also use a same developer over all my films.
About your shots, Most important you like the process and you like results.
I can recognize your work almost in 90% of the time.
This is your style.
Just for everybody 🙂:

of focus are an experimentation, one hundred photos
out of focus are a style."

I like this picture and I'll shoot the next roll of Pancro 400 using a Summitar and process it in d76 1:1

Use EI200 and cut development 20%. Grain almost gone. I use D76.
Not a big fan of fast film, but this really works for me.

The Bergger Pancro 400 is better to print than to scan.

This is really, really good. I remember when they released this film, I wanted to try some but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I admit that this discussion about paper and film goes over my head but I sure enjoy the pics on this thread!

Erik, I really like your development and exposure treatment of Bergger Pancro 400. Give us some hints.

Thanks!
I exposed the film on ISO 200 and developed it in Perceptol 1+2 at 23 degrees C for about 11 minutes.
The base of the film is quite dark. When looking the negatives through a magnifying glass a fairly coarse grain is visible. I scanned the negatives with my Epson V600 and was very unhappy with the result: very grainy indeed.
However, I wanted to see the effect on a print. I was surprised to see that the grain on the print (gelatine silver) was much finer than anticipated, actually I love the effect of the film on the print.
The split grade print was made with a Focomat IIc on Adox MCC 110. The effect reminds me of the gravure printing of the 1950's.
Erik.

Has anyone developed this with DDX yet? That's what I've got around right now but I wanna pick up some more Rodinal and maybe another developer too.
