    Re: Foma 8x10

    Last spring I ordered some of Freestyle's Arista EDU Ultra in 8x10 and they backordered it. A couple of days later one of their reps called me to ask whether it would be all right if they sent me a box of Foma instead. "It's the same thing." were their own words.

    Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.

    Live and learn. If I like this film I will not make this mistake again.

    I realize that manufacturers regularly allow companies put their name on a host of products at Costco or Sams for example. In a niche market like this one all it does is point out that the manufacturers brand name is going to sit on the shelf given the alternative that costs much less.

    Does the sheet film curl? Boy that would really suck, huh?

    No, the sheet film is nice and stiff, a pleasure to work with.
    I never had any problem with Fomapan 100 and 200 in medium format. No curl whatsoever, they have always dried perfectly flat. Maybe I was just lucky, I don't know...

    No, I think only the Fomapan 400 (and most probably only in rolls) does curl a lot. The Fomapan 100 and 200 behave much better, no curl at all...
