Fomapan 200
It isn't mine, but it is a very nice picture: https://fotki.yandex.ru/next/users/lanarus-foto/album/64743/view/354330
You're welcome, I'm glad they've been helpful. Your shots look great! I ditched Foma 400 altogether because I shoot mainly portraits, but maybe I should give it another whirl for my panoramic landscape shots, your examples are really good.
They were just meant to show the difference in skin tonesThe lighting was really flat in the second one: not the best, but not horrible either. I think it's just a pretty bad film for portraits.
I think you're on your own here. The lighter skin looks pasty and pretty horrible to my eyes. I much prefer the tones of tri-x.
There weren't any filters used in these shots. I purposely chose two photos of the same person taken without filters on different films, otherwise the comparison wouldn't have made any sense whatsoever.
This is another picture of him taken on ortho film

This is another bad picture on foma 400 (notice the horrible skin tone)

These are two pictures on Tri-x, one with a red filter and one with a green filter, to see the difference (the red filter one is closer to the look of Foma without any filter, while the green filter makes it look orthochromatic)

I thoroughly dislike fomapan's 400 red sensitivity. It ruined many portraits that I would have loved.
I have a trix320 framed 20x20 portrait of my older son and another fomapan 20x20 of my younger. The tri-x is amazing. The foma is apaling. No lips, funny eyelids. Man, what a waste.
The data sheet is quite clear that it is a near IR film, when you select an apple from the fruit bowl does it matter if it is orange and has an acid taste?
Love your quote. Mind if I use it???![]()
