    Playing with Fomapan 100 for the first time in Sicily earlier this year. This is a rough scan, not cleaned up, just the levels tweaked a bit:

    Thanks, Ron. Another half hour and the sun would have killed that.

    The nameplate... well, I couldn't get a good angle on the street without it, so I figured I'd better make it a feature. Except *it* was supposed to be in focus; there's a focus screen issue with my camera which is still unresolved.

    Hi Neil,

    I like the grey tones, what developer/times are you using.

    Where do I begin to praise this fine grain, affordable film. Without Foma I would not photograph as much as I do. Especially 8x10. I does beautifully in HC110 Stand. I expose it at speed or very slightly less. It develops smoothly across tones.

    1941 Eastman View Commerical B - Schneider G-Claron 240mm - f/45 - Arista EDU 100 - 8x10 Film - HC 110 1+100 - Unaltered Negative Scan

    Beautiful tones and sharpness.....A question Holden: when you shoot below box speed, do you reduce developing time?

    I just bought a pack of 100 Edu Ultra in 4x5 size. So today, 2017, is it Foma? Or possible it's something else?

    Just asking for education, not really to diss one company or another.
    A couple of years ago some photographers from another forum went on the Foma factory tour and there were pallets of film etc. in the goods-out area, including Arista in various formats. Making the assumption that nothing changed in the last few years is reasonable, unless anyone has noticed a change in the Arista branded film during that period?

    Hi Andreas,

    Developer is R09 for 9 minutes with a two-minute pre and post developer wash, no stop, then fix. All at 20C. The film is exposed at 64ASA. The resulting scan gives a range of about three-quarters of full-scale; expanded to close to 90% or so, and a gamma of about 0.8.

    When Freestyle changes manufacturers, they adjust the name of the new Arista film. Arista Professional was Ilford. Arista.EDU, I can't remember. Arista.EDU Ultra is Foma.

    Not at all, I just do my normal 1+100 stand in HC110. Super film, great lattitude. You can give it a little more in soft light.
    cheers,
