Hi, have any of you used any of the Ukranian-production Svema FN 32 film? I am referring to 1990s production, not the present product. I checked old posts, but did not find any posted examples. Slow B&W film often ages well, but I have no experience with Svema products. Thanks!

Not the 32, but old Svema from 70th:
Svema 250, 135 format, expired in 1977, heavily fogged


Svema 65, 10x15 cm sheet, expired in 1975, quite low fog, but heavily photoshopped against mold and other spots:


Both are shot at ~3 iso. The 1990th svema film usually drops it sensitivity to 3-6 iso, far worse than kodak and other usa/europe films.

The later svema in boxes of such design (it is about 1995 and afterwards) :



usually keeps better, so I think it is possibly retains the most initial sensitivity, if there will be no fungus.
