Fomapan 100, how to develop?

[DaCh]

A very nice film.
Try Perceptol at 1+1, 13 min.
Normal agitation
I rate it at 100iso.

Here's a sample of Foma 100 in diafine. Rated EI 100.
This was shot on 120

On a bright day, how would you guys rate the Fomapan 100? Rate it as 100, or 80?

In most developers Fomapan 100 will give you box speed.
(ID11/D76, AM74/RHS etc.)

However when the contrast light conditions are very high you're doing a N-1 development which means for the Fomapan 100 iso 80.

is arista ultra 200 rebranded fomapan 200 as well?

arista ultra 200

It's especially done for the USA market. yes, it's Fomapan Creative 200.

Using in high contrast light you are going to do a N-1 development which means an overexposure combined with a shorter developing time.
However in e.g. Rodinal Fomapan Classic 100 must be rated on iso 80. Rodinal is a speed loss developer but sharp and a high acutance which is more evident in the higher dilutions (1+50 - 1+100)

I've found my "sweet spot" with Fomapan 100 in Tetenal Ultrafin liquid for 7 mins @ 20 degrees. If it wasn't for the ocasional need of higher speed film, I would never use anything else.

This is just stunning. Beautiful.

thanks for that. off to freestyle. i've wanted to try this film for awhile with my usual developers, hc110 and rodinal.

 

[martin-f5]

my 2 cents as well,
I like the fomapan 100 very much as a rudimental film,
old fashiond and not that perfect than a APX 100

I think he has to be developed with foma R09 or Rodianl in 1+50 dilution

please have a look at this:

or at this:

I would try it in Xtol too. Tends to really smooth out the grain if thats your thing. Try in rodinal too and if you want something in teh middle mix them!

I always had trouble developing at home (with keeping the baths at temperature) but stand development in Rodinal is just so easy, since there's always a place in the house that is 20 degrees celcius.

Anybody got a recipe for Xtol stand development at 20 degrees Celcius? If possible at all, what dilution?
