I use to do reciprocity failure tests with each film I use, and then I make my own reciprocity failure charts and, that's it. I do it because, sometimes, film manufacturers ar too much optimists, as is the case of Fomapan 100.

Gotcha. I cheat, I use the reciprocity app on my iPhone (written by one of the members here).

Now this DEFINITELY has the Fomapan signature ;)

Haha

PS your wide angles are intense!

Great shots Nana, and a cleaver use of powerful Schneider WA lens too! Do you feel you have room for movements shooting with 4x5 film with this lens?

As someone else has stated before, Foma is a great film indeed. But for low amount of light situations and fast - related to the speed/reciprocity ratios - changing scenes, instead of Foma I do prefer a less steepening reciprocity curve film. Did I mention I just find absolutely amazing the results of HP5+ with sunlight at rise or set?

What I do not agree completely is with what Nana sad about: "FP4+, Kodak Plus-x pan, Fuji Acros, Fomapan 100 and Adox Art series 100, have a similar look, imo." I had somewhat different results of the films mentioned above less Adox Art, which I didn't used yet. Maybe with some sort of labo master work I could achieve similar results, but out of the box these films have - for me - a different tonal and contrast curve.

Nana, you're right when you complain about Acros price for 4x5, it's a shame how Fuji rated so high the same film in sheet than 120. I get all the Across loaded in roll film backs and shot it with 6x7, 6x9 sizes. It's a damn good film, but have damn high prices!

Cheers,

Renato
