Experiment:pushing Fomapan 100 to 400

[tho60]

I have played with Fomapan 100 film. I pushed it to ASA 400 with Fomadon R09. You can see the results. Feel free to write comments.

They look pretty good - how did you measure the light? BTW RPX100 can be pushed easily to 400 too.

I had no lightmeter, so I estimated the exposure.

I guess that instead of buying ASA 400 film I will push Fomapan 100 usually.

I used to use both Tri-X and APX400 as my go to films, from ASA100 to 6400 for Tri-X and 100-800 for APX400. They worked just fine, simply compensating in development

However, both Tri-X and APX400 are faster films than Fomapan 100, so your task was easier a bit. I am trying this experiment because my results with Fomapan 200 and 400 were not sufficient so far. I will mix a special developer for these films, but, based on my efforts, I am sceptic.
