Thread: Foma 200?

I'd sometimes lop a stop off TMY, and then overdevelop it a bit to get that blacked-out-graphic shadow effect ala Brett Weston. Foma 200 is far less malleable, and has a far slower real-world speed (2 stops lower than TMY to begin with). But if you have it around anyway, no harm trying it. Foma 200 doesn't overdevelop well either, certainly nothing like the potential of TMax films, classic ole Super-XX, or even FP4.

    Hp5 has a relatively long toe, so is in another category. Frankly, what I liked to do with HP5 was to counterintuitively both overexpose and overdevelop it (pyro) and then rein it back in with a supplementary mask. That's a lot of cumulative extra density; but I have some really muscular light sources on my 8x10 enlargers. Delta 100 has a medium toe, and can be overdeveloped well for extra contrast gradient.

    I'm just speaking technically and predictably. But sometimes technical felonies turn out to be creative gems.
    That's helpful. Thanks Drew. I do have a muscular LED head for my DII's. Hmmm

    I thinking maybe Acufine (I have plenty) or maybe Microphen? I have both. D23 1:1 is my go-to soup for about everything
    Been using Foma200 at 800-to -1600 asa but with an old camera 9x12cm. [with glass plate holders modified to film] in a jobo drum.
    due to the camera & lens combo the developer - I do not guarantee the save out come !! let me send a photo but first can I have an idea as what are the results you want ????
    Foma 200 s a picky film it has a tamperamento. let me send two to three thumbs, due to out look needed the chemistry used for me may not be what you are looking for.

    joho,

    Hi Again Well that's good I have 9x12cm Foma 200 and I have olde cameras! LOL And JOBO stuff too.

    Primarally I am shooting superwide 9x12 and 4x5 handheld with an olde 65mm F8 Super Angulon, on my home built Sinar Norma Handy. The faster real speed with this crazy camera the better. Shadow detail has got to be close to decent, although I'm sure it won't be. I'm about ready to take it out, it needs to be spring weather around here

    Oh great! Now Neofin blue is mutating ordinary potatoes into giant crawling mites, devouring people? That's a B horror movie if there ever was one.

    Looks good to me. If out street shooting I could go with that. Thanks Me I'd leave out the red filter. I have Med Yello on most of my lenses. So I can go with this look or compare HP5+ and TMX400 for very different rendering. This looks olde school to me. I like it
