Fomapan B@W film

[gian]

I shoot Foma all day long... love these films!

some snaps from Shanghai... most frames on my Flickr account and on my blog are shot on Fomapan films...

It's still the same film it lost the T quiet a long time ago due to copyright problems T-Max

Ah, thanks for this info.

gian,

nice shots! Particularly like the laundry and airco's shot for combining old and modern China!

May I ask: what scanner and negative holder do you use? I love the black borders showing the sprocket holes and the white around that!

cheers

fomapan 100 and 200

 

[bwcolor]

I've only used 100 and 400. The 400 grain in XTOL was not what I wanted. I mistakenly started with Rodinal, which certainly has a look that could be used in with certain subjects/lighting. I still have some in 120. The images above certainly make me more interested in giving it a second try. I know that I won't use the 400 in 35mm, but the 200 has me interested.

I shot a roll of 400 in my Mamiya 645e earlier today. Rated at at 250 and developed it in D-76 (1:1) for 10mins @ 20c. I'll try to post something later on when it dries.

Here's the 400....Arista.EDU Ultra 120 shot at 200 and developed in D76 for 10 mins.

Fomapan 100 works very well for me, most notably in Diafine. I used some rolls of 200, but it had severe scratches on the emulsion, bad batch? This is shot with the Hasselblad 500 C/M on Fomapan 100. I think this was developed in HC-110.

A couple of months ago I attended a soccer match at Yankee Stadium. I made the mistake of exposing Fomapan 100 @ 1600.

I ended up doing semi-stand development in Rodinal 1+50 for 45mins with something like 1 inversion every 5 mins. Obviously not something I would try again.

A good, inexpensive film, especially under the Arista.edu label, but very grainy, with high contrast. Like many, I overexpose by a 1/2 stop or so.

Admittedly I've only shot a couple of rolls of the 200 so far I'd agree on the contrasty aspect but I'm not finding it as grainy as I thought I would. Latest rolls I shot at 160.

 

[Photo_Smith]

Surely if the contrast is too high you just reduce the ISO and develop in a compensating developer?
This is the 100 rated at EI64 and developed in Rodinal 1:100 for 15 mins, nice tonally.

And rated at box processed in Rodinal 1:50 for 9min
Not too bad grain...

Nice shots but almost too flat for my taste. It's all personal of course and I do not find the 200 overly contrasty but a bit, then again only two rolls so far so I've got more experience to put under the belt before I feel I can make a strong judgement.

Any use the 200 in 120? I'm liking the 35mm version so far so thinking of trying some in my Rolleiflexes. Freestyle has it but I'm placing n order for something else with B&H and am bummed to see they only have Foma 100 and 400 in 120.....wonder why?

These small attachments, direct from my hd, seem to be the only way I can get a clean/sharp image posted. Flickr just mangles them.

Foma has had breaks in the production of the 200, and a fight a long time ago with the naming, they used to call it T200.

A few years back in Prague, I was told they had some problems getting some ingredients, - from Foma themselves, you might hear almost anything.

Roger listed it as a film of note from the last century I believe.

It has been one of my favorite films, believe I souped it in Xtol.

Foma should still have a website.

Regards, John

Foma 200 works well with Beutler. That cuts the contrast and is very sharp.

Fomapan 100, D76 1+1, 11 minutes @ 20C.
Excellent and consistent results.

The 200 and 400 aren't actual 200 or 400 (the 200 is rather a 160 and the 400 is an actual 200 so I stick to Fomapan 100, which is a classic and proofed emulsion).
