Fomapan 100, 200 and 400

[Ron (Netherlands)]

This is one of my first try-outs with 13x18 Fomapan 100 iso. Shot with a 185mm Dialytar on f 16 @ 1/25 sec.

Hi Ron,

Both shots came wonderfully good! Seems you have just nailed the correct amount of exposure and dev. for both pics.

Cheers,

Renato

Thanks Renato. I'm still amazed about the great resolving power of both the film and lens: here is a small detail > there is a bike in the first picture although you have to look hard to see it. Magnifying the original negative, one can even read the letters on the sign at this bike which refers to Tinekes' antique shop:



cheers from Holland,

Props to everyone for the fantastic images on this thread.
I'm thinking that Foma 100 will likely be my first film in large format. I'm slowly gathering all the gear i'll need. Ordered one of the Mk 2 Intrepid 4x5 and thinking i'll have it late this year to early 2017.

At this point i'll be developing in Ilfotec LC29. Has anyone had experience with this combination?

Cheers

I didn't know what an Intrepid was so looked it up. Every day is a school day! You will have guessed I have no experience of your combination therefore......
Not sure if it's mentioned on this thread but Foma is a shade thinner than for example Ilford. I find myself double checking to make sure I don't have two sheets stuck together when I'm loading film holders. If you haven't done 4x5 before it probably won't affect you in the same way as no previous experience to throw you off. It happens because you expect to feel it being thinner and if you don't feel that you wonder if you have two together. Weird.
It's an interesting learning curve that I'm enjoying. Hope you do too.

Try out with a ICA Minimum Palmos camera (press camera from about WW I era) that uses 10x15cm flatfilm and has a focal plane shutter - I wasn't sure the shutter would work at decent speeds:

How does one know that Arista Edu Ultra really is Foma 100/200/400? Will the notches on the LF film be the same? Or maybe at one time it was Foma and someone got the the infomation directly? Or are people reverse engineering it and saying "well, it behaves like Foma, so it must be Foma?".

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.
