Foma RETROPAN 320 B&W Negative Film 4x5 50 Sheetsis a panchromatic black and white negative film characterized by its fine grain structure along with good resolution and edge sharpness. Offering a wide tonal range and classic appearance, this film is particularly well-suited for contact printing and conventional enlarging applications, and its softer, mild contrast values are ideal for still lives, architectural, landscape, and portrait photography. Its nominal sensitivity is ISO 320/26° when processed in standard black and white chemistry or the recommended Retro Special Developer, however its wide exposure latitude permits rating the film at one stop of over (EI 160) or two stops under (EI 1250) with good results.

This item is one box of 50 sheets of 4 x 5" film.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Has anyone using this film had success pushing or pulling this film? If so, by what number of stops? Thanks.

A: Portra 400 is really amazing as it has about a 7 stop latitude. 4 over and 3 under. It has Kodak's movie film Vision3 technology in it. Its made to cover about every situation. I think its best overexposed 1-2 stops. But also pushes quite well. Remember, pushing color film only increases contrast not light. The scene still has to be lit.

Q: 2. How many photos can you take with this?

A: It depends on the format of the medium format camera being used, and on occasion the particular camera. 6x4.5mm = 16 shots (15 on some older models)6x6mm = 12 shots6x7mm = 10 shots

Q: 3. hello. This film is compatible for a Lubitel 166B? thanks

A: Any 120 film is compatible with it. Yes.

Q: 5. What is the expiration date for this 10 sheet set?

Q: 6. whats the expiration date?

Q: 7. Is Kodak film still being produced,and by whom?

A: Kodak is still in business. This film is produced by Kodak.

Q: 8. Where can I get this film developed?

A: It depends on where you live. I live in Jacksonville, Fl and I can get this developed 2 different ways. I have a friend that lives in Gainesville that I give to him to get it developed for me. There is another place here in Jacksonville Beach that develops them but it's a little more pricy. If you don't live in either of these places, your best bet would be to look up places on the internet that develops 120 film in your area. Not many places develop these types of films these days. Hope this helps.

Q: 9. I live in oversea. so i want to know if it is safe from Xray when it shipped. Can i using it without problems like fog?

A: Yes, it will be safe for shipping overseas, it will not fog up from X-rays during transport.

Q: 10. Would this film work with an Ansco Shur Shot? The inside of the camera says For best result use Ansco 120 film . Also would it work in bright sunlight? (Southern California)

A: Yes it will fit. Get Portra 160 for bright sunlight.

[0.54 lb] Retropan 320 is great in 35mm and 120mm. It is an easy way to achieve a distressed vintage look. Great film for beginners or anyone looking to fall in love with film again. 5

[0.54 lb] Amazing film, looks very vintage and grainy 5

[0.54 lb] As the previous review states this film offers a nice “organic” and “edgy” artistic quality that is great for urban-cultural documentary or fine art portraiture. I process in Pyrocat HD Pyro but it also responds excellent in Perceptol 1:2 and 1:3 and also ID-11 or D-76 1:1 in my experience. I’ve found it very dependable. Plus for those who UV print for such processes as platinum printing I have found it to work very nicely. I follow Sandy Kings (resource tab) for technical guidelines from his website- Intro To Pyro Staining Developers. This film brings “fell” to one’s creative photographic art in my opinion. 5

[50 Sheets] Great film, retro all the way. My first roll I pushed it two stops and I like the results 5

[0.54 lb] Purchased to do something different and it delivers. Have shot about 10 sheets of 4x5 so far and I like it a lot. Grain is different, bright light even blown has a creamy texture. Wanted it for creative work and it will perform lovely. Developed in HC-110 Dil. B as per manufacturer at 7-9 it’s a good baseline Will try others. Dont understand the Dislike this film is given. I’m buying another pack soon as possible 5

[320] I love this film. To me it reminds me of old movies I used to watch as a kid. I personally enjoy the grain and low contrast. So many B&W film stocks look the same, it's nice to have something with some real character to it. 5

anyonymous	14/06/2024
[50 Sheets] The grain is fine, its a bit soft and has a really nice old style faded look, really cool! 5

[320] By now, you've likely read dozens of reviews knocking this film for its graininess and poor contrast. Shot and developed at box speed, I have also found this to be true. But, as others have mentioned, there is also something appealing about this film, particularly the grain structure and soft rendering. I wasn't quite ready to abandon this unique offering. So, looking to try to keep that interesting grain and subdued sharpness, I wondered if pushing the film a bit would help with the contrast problem, and perhaps eliminate the overabundance of that otherwise nice grain which can quickly clog up the midtones. I shot at a roll at 640, and developed at 1.5 times the recommended duration for HC-110, dilution B. Eureka! The negatives are glorious, and allow you a great deal of printing latitude in the darkroom. Since making this change, I am consistently getting deep blacks with plenty of detail, but also a very unique scratchy look (presumably from that grain), and am also able to more effectively control detail in the midtones, making this a surprisingly good alternative for portraiture. I say alternative because even with pushing the film one stop, this is not a film you want if mid-tone detail & accuracy is important to you -- for that, stick with Tri-X or HP5 for fast films. Bottom line: try pushing this film one stop. You might be very pleasantly surprised, particularly if you are looking for something a little different. 5
