[120] This is $4 miracle stuff from our Czech friends. Washes out Slimer green and then cyan blue, but always gives me great B&W results and surprisingly flexible at 400 ISO. At just $0.25 per frame on my 645, this is about as economical as it gets to shoot 120 format.

[Polyester] I'm really happy with this film. It has the amount of contrast that I've been looking for. I've tried other brands and was never satisfied, then decided to give Foma a chance because I love their paper so much. This film makes for beautiful photos even on the darkest of days.

[RMS = 17.5] I really like Foma 400 (and 100 while we are at it). It has great tones and to me it just has that look like Tri-X has that look (different looks). Great film. I know of no one who is unhappy with it.

[100.0 µm] Used Fomapan 120 film for a studio photography class and I am very happy with the results. I would use this film again and would tell anyone that!

[RMS = 17.5] Works great and its Kodak great landscape and outdoor film. I was interested after watching YouTube Grainydays comments I use in my
Mamiya 6 and Pentax 67. I use the Darkroom and also develop my self.
Its very consistent and available from B+H at the best price.

[RMS = 17.5] First black and white roll to shoot on the Holga 120N, really like the tones and contrast overall. Pretty standard film, nice to try!

[120] Shot it; monobathed it; scanned it.

[1] I got fantastic quality prints using this film - really clear images.

[400] first time trying this film and it worked great in my pinhole camera 6x9 got 8 shots. was off on my shutter times but the photos still turned out good.

[RMS = 17.5] I use Fomapan 400 in every format from 35mm & 120, and sheet film sizes. I greatly appreciate its tonal response and ability to be manipulated to one's desired effect through processing and choose of developers. The grain can be easily accentuated and it remains very sharp and not mushy, or when using a fine grain developer it can provide reasonably low-grain appearance as well. On-line there are a couple good reviews and with red filtration it can even reach near infrared levels which make it great for certain landscape effects.

Be aware:
All Fomapan films have delicate emulsions when wet, so handle your film and drying method very carefully. This is reminiscent of the old EFKE emulsion which were even more soft until dried.

When the developer is poured out there is a vivid green-blue stain from the anti-halation coating-don't be alarmed. I pre wash my film before processing which helps to minimize the very strong tint. The stain does not hurt the processing.

Also, don't compare this film to a more modern cubic crystal or tabular grain film for its more old-school. It's an artsy-film and I feel it has a beautiful glow in the highlights. Reciprocity failure is high, so use T-Max or Acros or Delta if you are not willing to calculate reciprocity failure into long exposures.

Enjoy the film for what it is created to do and don't be afraid to experiment. I typically shoot the film at EI 250. It pushes nicely up to 1600. For my alternative process work in pl/pt I typically process the film in PMK or Pyro-Cat. For none staining I will use Rodinal 1:40 - for sharp grain, or ASCO 17 which is very similar to D76 1:1. Many report good success in Perceptol and Xtol and HC-110 too.
