Fomapan 100 4x5''

Hi,

did anybody of you work with Fomapan 100 (4x5'') sheet film?. How did you expose and develop it? What were the results?

Yes I've been using it. I shoot at half the box speed and also it requires significantly shorter development times compared to other films. 10 mins @ 20°C in Pyrocat HD at 1+1+100 normal inversion agitation, Delta 100, 400, HP5 etc need 15 mins.

It's OK but I think I'll stick with Delta 100 and HP5 once I've finished my 2 boxes.

it's almost the only Lf film I use, and I have done it for years. love that film!

I expose it as 100 iso - develop it in HC110 dil B 21 degrees C for about 4.5-6min, depending on the motive..

It fixes really quick - a couple of minutes, and you can see the result (but I normally fix it for 5 min minimum..)

It is a great film, and perfect for my students also, as it is not nearly as expensive as other LF films...

your money worth - and more..

have fun!

like Ian said, half of the box speed, in Pyrocat HD 1+1+200, for 15 mins with 10 secs initial agitation and then for 5 secs gentle inversions every 5 mins at 21°C. I like it very much, but since this is my first sheet film, I have no base for comparison. I think I'll stick with it for a while.
