+ 1Foma paper is top notch
The films are fine too
If you look up the word "Irony" in the dictionary.......The "general consensus" is bullshit. There's no general consensus. One has to try and see if he/she likes the film. With that in mind, Foma imho is on par with all the major manufacturers in terms of quality and has been proving very good in terms of availability and excellent in terms of pricing.
Actually it is real reversal film. They didn't name it Scala while the Agfa stuff was still in stock. So it has d real resilience for the process..Foma is the only manufacturer to have a real, proper, b&w reversal film. Fomapan R 100.
The only.
Adox Scala 160 is Silvermax relabeled so isn't a propier reversal film.
Fomapan R 100 cannot be developed as a negative for instance, because it's optimized only for reversal.
The results of Fomapan R 100 developed with the Foma kit is astounding.
What makes Fomapan R100 a "proper" BW slide film, and the only one as you say? The fact that it has a silver based antihalation layer and makes its use as a negative more difficult? For the record, it can be used as a negative if you bleach first, it's just not worth the effort.Foma is the only manufacturer to have a real, proper, b&w reversal film. Fomapan R 100.

The proper AHU layer is paramount for a reversal film. And the subbing layer too.
Fomapan R 100 is the only film enginereed to be reversed. Period.
A proper antihalation layer is important for all films, not just reversal ones. I have also used films from Kodak, Ilford and Agfa and all of them could survive a permanganate bleach, I don't get your point.The proper AHU layer is paramount for a reversal film. And the subbing layer too that can withstand permanganic acid bleach.
Fomapan R 100 is the only 35mm still film enginereed to be reversed. Period.
Absolutely NOT. It's NOT real Scala emulsion and it's not a real tailor made reversal film.
IT'S ADOX SILVERMAX REBRANDED.
