[chiller]

Has anyone had any experience with forte 200 iso Black and White 4x5 film?

I would normally use Agfa Apx 100 but this is hard to get from my local supplier here in Adelaide.

Using Forte 200

Has anyone had any experience with forte 200 iso Black and White 4x5 film?

I would normally use Agfa Apx 100 but this is hard to get from my local supplier here in Adelaide.

I am currently using it as my main 4x5 film. (Bought from Arista as .EDU film)

Very nice film, good tonality. I tend to dev it in Diafine. One thing though, it does need a pre soak in my jobo tank, else it comes out with splotches.

I would s'pect so since it hasn't been made in a couple of years. I have a couple years supply but when that's gone, it'll probably be FP4 for me (if that is still around).
