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
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.
