Well-known
I have used all 3.
HP-5 is the best.
Great sharpness, beautiful tonal range.
Kentmere 400 is grainy, less sharp.
Highlights easily blown (by me).
I actually love the gritty look but not wasted highlights!
Inexpensive and dries dead flat as does HP-5.
Tri-X is Not the film I used in 60's~80"s.
Expensive and worst for me curls.
A big problem in my Canon Scanner.
All films easily used at box speed.
HP-5 easily shot at 800~1600 in HC-110.
Can be cropped but I am against cropping..
Kentmere 100 is a stunning film.
100 ISO films like Ilford FP4 are all good.
I support Ilford as prices are reasonable.
