fomapan 200 vs HP5+

[Mateo_2867]

I shoot all 810 with HP5+ and process Rollo Pyro for pt/pd printing. Have any other pt/pd printers been down the foma road? I can't keep up with what factory is making what and who's label is on it, but is it something like the Bergger film?

Mateo,

Foma 200 is nothing like the Bergger film. Foma 200 is a designer-grain film like Tmax, Delta, or Acros. It is an excellent film, and responds well to staining developers. Unlike the Bergger film, it is a true 200 speed film, with excellent expansion/contraction potential. I find it more similar to TMY than any other film. I like HP5+ very much, as well.
