Our personal recommendation:
Fomapan T200 on E.I. 160:
With yellow filter and high accutance (and pronouned grain):
Rodinal or (Fomadon) R09 (1+50 or 1+40).

Fomapan T200 on E.I. 160-200:
AM74/RHS 1+9
Finer grain than Rodinal but still high sharpness.

Fomapan T200 on E.I. 80
SPUR HRX-2
Fine grain, less contrastly negatives and some loss of sharpness.

Best regards,

Robert

Fomapan T200 is a superb film, almostly exactly comparable in speed to Ilford FP4 Plus. i.e. the '200' is ONLY in speed increasing developers and is rounded up at that: the true ISO is more like 180 in DD-X/Microphen, a good 125 in D76/ID-11, maybe 80 in Perceptol. It is grainier than FP4 Plus but tonally excellent -- far superior in the latter respect to Fomapan 100, at least for the subjects I shoot, though I have seen excellent portraits on Fomapan 100. Despite the name, it is not a tabular grain film.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'pulled'. If you mean 'deliberately over-exposed', the above should answer your question. If you mean 'deliberately under-developed', my own experience is that most manufacturers' development times for it are pretty good. The emulsion is loaded with development accelerators so dev times can be VERY short -- consider more dilute development.

Go to www.rogerandfrances.com>galleries>UK, where there are 9 shots taken with this film of the Barge Museum at Faversham.

Cheers,

I also love Fomapan 200 in 35mm and always shoot it at ei 125.

It has very rich tonality and I find it less grainy in Aculux2 than FP4+ and APX100. It is the perfect film for old fashioned style portraits.

It is a film I always keep loaded in one of my point and shoot cameras as it always seems to deliver nice grab shots and seems to react well to flash indoors.

I have been shooting it at 100, and processing it in Pyrocat HD diluted 1:1:100, rotary processing in a Jobo Expert drum for 11 minutes @75 f. I love it - great stuff, and quite inexpensive.

I like it in DR5. See the review at http://www.dr5.com/foma200t.html.

It is an excellent 8x10 sheet film.

It's a nice film. It works well in XTOL-like developers.
