>>4351273If you want to shoot Fomapan at 200, then buy Fomapan 400. Always assume that Fomapan has half the box sensitivity. Except Fomapan 100, which is like 80.
Some people even say that there is only one Fomapan, and box speed is just imaginary, and you just control sensitivity with development time. Take it with a grain of benzotriazole though.
Where I come from is considered the poorfag choice, or a "student film". Which I think is stupid, because it's temperamental, contrasty, hard to get good results with, and just putting off for someone new and less experienced. It was the first and only film I shot for a while and I know that many headaches and hours of troubleshooting could have been saved if I had only spent like 15-20% more on something like Kentmere.
I feel bad putting it down because it's from my neck of the woods (very broadly, but still), but it's just not a great, or easiest to work with material. Though personally I never had issues with excessive curling like that other anon.
FYI Arista Edu Ultra is the same exact stuff, only repackaged; maybe you can get it at a better price if you're really so fixed on using it. But I just saw that it looks like they might be discontinuing it and replacing it with Arista Edu DX, which I'm 99.999% sure is gonna be repackaged Kentmere (going by "made in UK" and published development times). Which is kind of telling.
Oh last thing, if it's about the money, then as always to get best bang for your buck you should get a bulk roll and cut it yourself, then you can get it down to under $4 per roll.
