I have only recently (well, this year) tried working with the Fomapan 100 in 5x7 size, and I must admit, it's been pretty sweet stuff to use. It has a distinct look to it that I find appealing. It's quite distinct from - for example - FP4+. Yes, it's got really poor reciprocity characteristics, but I am rarely needing exposures more than a couple of seconds anyway.
Fomapan 100 rated at 50 ASA, developed with Thornton 2-Bath @ 4.5 + 4.5 min.
Note that shops like Film Photography Project and CatLabs are repackaging Fomapan under their house brand names, and FPP may be packaging other brands as well. Does Lucky still exist?
