Arista EDU Ultra 100 in Fomadon R09

[gone]

Thanks to some good advice here I shot my Arista EDU Ultra 100 at ISO 50 (ISO 25 w/ a yellow filter) instead of at box speed. It was developed in Fomadon R09 at 1:25 dilution, 7 minutes at 68 degrees. The reduced ISO tamed the contrast, and it looks pretty grain less even in the Fomadon. Shot w/ a Nikon N8008s w/ an R 90 Elmarit lens.

Wow, nice images, showing a lot of skill. Other people have had trouble with Fomapan.

Glad it worked out nice shots.

I never found Fomapan to be difficult to expose, it's quite wonderful, it's two flaws (issues with emulsion holes and terrible reciprocity) tend to divert people to other films. But if you can deal with those, you can get excellent results.
