Thanks for sharing these, Tin Can. Interesting. I had no idea.
The pearls are on 11X14 crop, the others 8X10
at the link I posted 100 sheets are $35
It is a bit delicate, but you will learn how to be gentle and can be loaded in holders and processed under DIM red light
Use any developer you like, i like the cheapest

Thanks, Tin Can. That is an interesting option for sure. I will learn more about it.
Peter, those Foma 200 shots @800 looks very nice. 2 stops can be a luxury. Very interesting option.
I would use either FP4 and HP5 developed in D76 or ID-11. The simple reason being that these are some of the most commonly used combinations in film photography so lots of people know about them and can help you if you have issues. If you use something like Fomapan 200 and Pyrocat HD that pool of expertise falls exponentially, and you may struggle to find people who can help much beyond guesswork. Keep things simple.
There are so few films available in sheets that there really is no reason not to try all of them and figure out for yourself which you like best. Try them out in 120 rolls and it will cost about the same to try them all as you'd pay for one box of 4x5.
Good photo, Randy!

I've have got to where the only film I regularly use for all formats is FP4+. It's easy to work with, predictable, and consistent in processing. I shoot it in 35mm, 120, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10.

I've pretty much settled on FP4 over the last few years (used to be partial to Ansco 100 but that's ancient history...)
It's fast enough for most things and pulled to 50 I can use old lenses in barrel (but still have a stash of Efke 25) with a Galli shutter or just a lens cap for that matter. Lately I've been mixing D-23 from scratch and I've gotten some nice results with it and FP4.
