if it works, I like to be a kid:D

Martin, did you develop fomapan in rodinal?
And could you post a picture from it, please.

FP4+ or Efke 100 have something of the Tri-X feel among slower films. I don't normally process them in Rodinal though.

FP-4 Plus in Rodinal has beautiful Tonality. I have never used it in 35mm though, only in 120, but I like it:

easiest question ever: Plus-X, ISO 125 :D
If you like something in-between, check the Double-X thread (ISO 200)
 
the fomapan is quite cheap and not so very finegrainy,
it has no shield on the back side to provide against light flairs,
sometimes this ist great, but not always :-(

I use it most times for testing
 
Consider Foma 200. It's actually identical in speed to FP4, i.e. only ISO 200 in speed increasing developers. (Source: own tests + Foma's own spec sheets). Gorgeous tonality in many devs.

Cheers,

Is Fomapan 100/200/400 so close to the Kodak films?

It's WAY cheaper, so it could be interesting for my day-to-day shooting.
 
thanks for the beautiful pictures.
Thanks, Martin, I like the oldfashion look of the fomapan.
Last weekend I shoot an Adox 50. Did you try the adox 25.
Is it oldfashaner than the 50.
Just forget: mfogiel, thanks. I love your work on flickr.
Thanks

unfortunately not,
I'm at the end of my TriX time and switch to Fuji Neopan 400.
This summer I'll use some rools FP4 and APX 100.

Last winter I shot wonderfull snow landscapes on FP4 developed them in Foma R09, wich is the same as Rodinal, and was astonished at the sharpness.
But they are much more grainy than TriX developed in A49.

A never ending story....

They are very different from one another. Personally I would not give 100 house room, but I love 200. I have however seen excellent pics taken by others with 100. Of 400 I have little knowledge.

I've shot FP4 as a substitute for Tri-X for just this reason (shooting glaciers in Patagonia) but found I don't really like it as much. I was shooting medium format in a Mamiya 6 and was pretty disappointed with the FP4. I find it tends to get a little too contrasty and lacks the wonderful mid greys of Tri-X without really offering much in grain reduction.

I used to shoot Verichrome but 1) it's no longer available 2) it was only available in 120 when I shot it and 3) it's got this sort of creamy look that lacks pop.

Why don't you just pull Tri-X? Lots of people shoot Tri-X from anywhere from 100-1000.

I recently have been using the Arista version of the Fomapan 100 in 120, developed in Rodinal, and I actually like it very much. But, it is the curliest film I have ever encountered. It simply will not flatten, even pressed between the pages of a book. I'm afraid to try the Fomapan 200, as a result. Does the 35mm version dry flat?
