Arista.Edu

[Robert J Cardon]

I glanced at the latest Freestyle catalog and noticed a new product line of paper and film called Arista.Edu. They offer ISO 200 and 400 speed B&W film in 4x5 and 8x10, as well as RC and fiber paper. The product is Made in Hungary (probably by Forte) and is significantly less expensive than other brands, e.g., ISO 200 film in 4x5, 100 sheets is only $29.99, 25 sheets ISO 200 8x10 film is $33.99, and 100 sheets of 8x10 RC paper, 100 sheets sells for $25.99.

Anyone have any experience with these products?

Robert,

I have a box of the Arista.Edu 400 in 4x5, but have not yet made any photographs with it. They told me at Freestyle that it is identical to Fortepan 400, so if anyone has experience with that film, it would be transferable to the Arista.Edu product.
