Film Report: Arista.EDU Ultra 200 (Fomapan 200 Creative)

I have perfect results with my FP200 in 135-36 and 120 roll film. In the mean time the layer is clear Polyester with an AH layer in 120 roll film format and with a self-adhesive strip. The 135-36 is unchanged but the DX-code is not there anymore.

The tone is really nice, I will definetly give that a try. Has anyone tried it with HC110? It seems foma doesn't suggest developing with it.

Nice story too! Luckily my cat isn't particularly interested in any of my photography related stuff, but it's kinda annoying when she walks on the keyboard while you're working.

I've used Arista EDU ultra 200 at 100 in HC-110h and it works fine. I also use the Arista Liquid developer from Freestyle and it was even more convenient than HC-110h. I use all three speeds of this film and have found that if you have blue sky I have to use an Orange filter. This is backed up by the Foma company tech sheet that show color spectral sensitivity is quite high for blue. The Orange filter takes care of that. You do get a little more contrast using this filter but as shadows are blue light they are not blocked out.

This is Arista EDU ultra 400 at 200 with filter EI is 80, this shot has an Orange filter, HC-110h:

I have been especially interested in the 200 variety, but if true that could be a dealbreaker for me.

It has been a while since I looked at the tech sheets for these films. I think I'm remembering correctly when I ordered some not 200 but Arista EDU ultra, Freestyle said they didn't have any in stock but Fomapan (100) was the same I would get it for the same price. So if you are worried look up the color spectral sensitivity graphs for these films and then make your decision. I do find the work around a little irritating for me, but I live in California and it is sunny most days. Frankly I like these 3 films indoors or on cloudy days best, but that is just me. I've had many great photos using the Orange filter with these films.
