I've shot a good deal of the 200 in sheet up to 8x10. I generally process in HC110 B. The 200 responds very well to expanded development and works very well for platinum printing or silver prints. It's one of my all time favorite sheet emulsions.

I bought fomapan 100 in 100 feet, so far no quality issue even after it's expired. I like how flat the negative when you dry it. My Tri-x curls more than the fomapan.

hi guys,
you've been talking about the Quality COntrol issue of Foma (some spots / scratches). Could you post some photos for the evidence?
thanks.

I've had similar black specs on T200 in 120 format when developing in Rodinal. The other roll souped in Diafine came out great though. I'm not sure, but you can write to Foma they are helpful and respond to all inquiries. I contacted Macodirect and they redirected my request to dana.hojna [at] foma.cz. They will likely ask you to send them a sample of the film with the defect and when possible one non-developed film. I need to read the mentioned 20-page apug discussion the other day.trung,
For my issues on the Fomapan 200 in 120 format,
a lot of small black random dots on the negatives.
i don't have the negatives with me now.
but i can give you a similar example,

The Fomapan Creative 200 film (120 roll film) has been re-newed. It's on Clear Polyester layer now, different backing paper (more soft and flexible) and the glue of the self adhesive strip is not getting off to quickly anymore.
I am talking about emnr. 0106564 exp. date: 1/2015. Hopefully most Q.C. issues are solved now.
Here an example in 6x7cm (C.V. Bessa III 667) of the Creative 200 120 roll film. Developer D74 1+15 for 5:00 minutes at 20C.

Like Robert says Fomapan 200 is a new (reworked) emulsion. They actually shut the line down for a while to cure some of the issues.
I've never had an issue with their film myself and have used 100, 200 and 400 the latter being slightly grainy buy having a nice pattern.
I tested them out and wrote about them on my blog.
