New Film from Foma

Thanks again. I had seen the comments about Foma 400 giving strange results for portraiture and Foma 320 being closer to visual. It was really my question actually posed to nworth's comments on interesting results resulting from a cut-off at 650nm and lacking in red sensitivity that I was looking for an answer on

Pity that nworth hasn't replied but it is open to anyone else, assuming that anyone else believes it will be interesting . What specifically will be the interesting results from a cut-off at 650nm

I had assumed that interesting meant "different" from or "unusual" compared to other films. M

Maybe it was just a throw-away line. Pity

Hm... I don't get the specialty in the spectral characteristic. It cuts off rather sharply at 650 nm, just like a lot of other panchromatic films (Fomapan 100, Agfa APX 100/400 old, Ilford Pan F/FP4/HP5/Delta100, Kodak Tri-X/Tmax400, Fuji Neopan 100/400)...

To me, it seems that films like Fomapan 200/400 and Ilford Delta 400/1600, which extend to 700 nm, are the exception rather than the norm...

(PS: This non-exhaustive survey is simply of the data sheets I happen to have handy at the moment... so please feel free to place Tmax100/3200, Kentmere 100/400 or whatever else on the map for us)
