Here is my take on some leaves after rain:

Hello all, no images this time but an observation. The other day, I opened a new box of fomapan 100 (4x5 exp in 2018). When loading, I noticed the film was more warped than usual and peeled a bit stiffer. I have since shot and developed the film and as it turns out, the film base is much thicker and stiffer than any of the foma film I have used so far. I shoot an average of 2 boxes of foma in various formats a month and all my stock is less than a few months old. Has anyone else noticed a change in the foma films? Not sure it is just this box, will soon know, but it also seems to me that the film has more defects (blemishes in the coating) than normal. I'm used to foma being very consistent, but this is a bit of a disappointment. Happy to hear your experiences!

Observation - two weeks and no response, not even from the manufacturers!!!
Question - is something really wrong with the film??
Question - has this thread died???

I don't think anyone from Foma (the manufacturer) keeps an eye on this forum, unfortunatelly. I agree it would be wise of them to do so.

I order my Foma films in batches which usually last 2-3 years (in the fridge), and my last order was roughly a year ago. So no, I can't comment on any new batch of their films...

I bought 2 boxes Foma100 in 4x5 about a month ago. The first box seems fine, expiration date 05/2018. Production no(? The one on top is 019554-04.)

I'm using Foma 100 in 4x5, lot number 019254-01, expiration date 10/2017, and the film seems OK to me.

@kleinbatavia. Since you live sometimes in EU, you can contact Slavomir at Fomafoto and try to find an answer.
