Foma RETROPAN 320 B&W Negative Film 5x7" 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 5 x 7" 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. does this film get exposed to the light when you open the box?

A: Yes the film can only be opened in complete darkness when loading it to its designated film holder to reduce the risk of fogging it.

Q: 3. Can you use this film with a Kodak Junior Six-20? I was told 120 film can be used with it. And if so, how many exposures could I get per roll with this film using that camera?Thanks!

A: The Kodak Junior Six-20 unfortunately will not be able to use 120 format film. This particular camera uses 620 format film.

Q: 4. 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: 5. when is the expire date?

A: Its usually about 2 years from when you get it. B&H is always great about expiration.

Q: 6. 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.

Q: 7. how many shots?

A: Thank you for sending message.Now I live in Tokyo,Japan. If I bought some of 810 negative film , How much does shipping takes from B&H to Tokyo?And how many days does it takes?Please let me know.

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

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

Q: 10. When does this product expire? And is it good for landscapes?

A: B&H buys and sells film in bulk. In general we regularly maintain fresh film stock. All of our film is at least 6 months from expiration (typically much longer). Anytime film stock is less than 6 months from expiration we sell it in a separate section and label it as short-dated film and also price it with a slight discount (again due to the volumes we sell this rarely occurs). Unfortunately we do not have access to our inventory to hand inspect the expiration date of any of our films prior to purchase. This film will be great for landscapes.

[0.95 lb] 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.

[320] Very pleased with results using Rodinal stand development 1-hour. Very scannable negatives. Pleasant grain. Nice shadows. Shot at box speed.

[50 Sheets] 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.

[50 Sheets] I shot this in overcast weather, with the sun barley in the background, red filter and overdeveloped by one stop. This is one of my favorites now!

[0.95 lb] The product was in perfect condition, easy to order from B&H and to even come to the store in order to inspect the films and their expiration date. B&H was able to organize its shipping to France with no difficulty and the package arrived in short time. Every communication with the B&H employees were great, employees were kind and very efficient. When ordering a product that is in the warehouse, it took less than 24 hours for it to arrive at the New York store. Overall great experience.

[50 Sheets] 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.
