i have been convinced that fomapan was as good as it gets or better, is this a hoodwink?
what 8x10 black and white do you prefer?
cheers

TMY-2, or anything else by Kodak, or Ilford, or Fuji.
My favorite film is Ilford HP5+. I did get some very nice photos with the Arista.Edu version of 5x7 Fomapan 200 (since discontinued and resurrected I think).
jay i think thats just about every one else...
mmm interesting, there is only one full time black and white lab here in oz called blanco negro, and they only sell and use fomopan.
they told me it was a better product, so before i crack this new 50sheet box i am keen to be put off.
then again, the last 50 was pretty much wasted trying to learn.

Fomapan is excellent but not the very best. Tmax, Delta and Acros all have finer grain, better speed and better reciprocity but at 8x10, do you care?

TMAX is crazy film. Just used it recently and I was blown away. I can't imagine anything could be any better.
But Foma is a lot cheaper. My goal is to get great results from it. I've had some successes and some failures. Still working.
having trouble finding tmax, seams it is discontinued?
thanks william, can i ask what the main difference is between hp4 hp5
thanks

Ok thanks every one I will give ilford a good Ozzie go.
Rollie seem to have made some 8x10 film, looks expensive and interesting.
I think I read; 6400asa made in three layers like colour film?
But didn't I read a while back that t max was dead and something else took its place ... I spent a while searching only there was a million old posts on t max.
