Fomapan 100, 200 and 400

[kleinbatavia]

Nice composition. I like contrasty images, but am starting to get the idea that HC110 may indeed not be the best developer for foma. I've played around and experimented a bit myself lately and am struggling to keep the highlights in check. Much like the clouds next to the tree. Darks are nice and open though, which is great. Happy to hear what experience others have with HC110. Will switch back to my good old APH09 (rodinal) for the time being.

Foma 200 is my go-to film for 4x5, mostly because of price, but I also REALLY like it!

I'll post a few here over the next few days.

I've actually moved on to Pyrocat MC for Foma 200. Under constant agitation, it develops in 8.5 minutes. The Pyrocat seems to get a lot more information out of the highlights, don't know if that is because of staining or what. I DO know that I am really liking the look.

Here's another developed in the Pyrocat MC

Foma 200 rated at 120 ISO and developed in Pycrocat MC for 8.5 minutes. Zone VI 4x5, Ektar 203mm F7.7. This shot was just at sunrise with the western side of the rocks in heavy shadow and a light sky. Just to show the dynamic range of the Foma 200 with Pyrocat MC.

Really like this one. Should print well too. Makes me want to try stand development with rodinal, the grain is much finer than when drum processing.
