FP 100C advice

[ABrosig]

Just received my first order of FP 100C from Fuji. Question - How do you rate it? It had an iso of 100 and my polaroids offer 75 and 150. How's the latitude of the film? Will it hold up to 75, extended development time, dial in compensation? Help!!

By the way, got the film through Amazon at a great price with expiration date of 4/2016, just FYI.

I rate it at 100 in my 195 and the development time is fixed; it stops developing after 30 seconds or similar. Not like the older stuff.

I have a 195 as well so I just rate it as 100 ISO. However, I have found that the prints usually darken up by a half stop or so within 15 minutes of pulling them. So if my meter readings are on the fence, I always lean towards over exposing.

Yes, but it dries down darker, so you can't really judge an exposure based on what you see straight out of the camera.

In my Land 340 I set @iso 75 it is ok

I have a 420 and 440. Both set at 75, adjust exposure as the light changes. But, on a nice sunny day I've been getting great images with exposure set in the middle.

I have a Polaroid 100. I use the 75 film speed setting, but if I want a properly exposed print, have to set the exposure-compensation dial to +1. I’m pretty sure the added exposure has nothing to do with the film, but everything to do with my old camera.
