Please help me identify "Pan Film 120 100asa"

Hi!
I just found a roll of this B&W film, it just says "Pan Film 120 BW Black and White 100 asa" and has a black backing paper. Any clues what it could be? It was in the case of my 6x9 cam still unopened, and I do not remember buying it, since I generally do color in 6x9, and for BW I use Ilford film. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Could be Fomapan, they label their film as that on the label that seals the film, and has a bleck backing paper,

Ilford Pan 100?

twelvetone12 · Aug 30, 2015

Does Ilford Pan 100 exist? Now that I recall, some time ago I purchased some PanF 50 in 120 and never used it, it could be the seller messed up things! And I just noticed now it is not PanF. There are no sign of a brand on the film, I will shoot it and (guess) develop it and hopefully there are some edge marks.

Can to show us a picture of the roll?

Pan 100 (and Pan 400) did exist, even in 120 size.

I'll bet it's Fomapan.

It still exists in 135 format as far as I know.
It is still listed here: http://www.theimagingwarehouse.com/ProductGrp/Ilford-Pan-100

Hello "twelvetone12",
I just read Your post from 2015.
Did You find out, what Brand the "PAN FILM 120" was?
I just took the same film out of an old Mamiya C2, I bought it 5-6 years ago at a fleemarket and never used the camera.
The film was in the camera with start #1, so I finesd it with puictures and have it developed next week.
But what film is it?

Thanks for Your help.

Regards from Germany
Rainer

As others have said, it's most likely either Fomapan or Freestyle's rebranding, .EDU Ultra. I have the latter from 2005 and fresh, both marked that exact way and with black backing.

Alentejo · Jun 7, 2020

Thanks. I will check the sesults next week.

It was Fomapan 100!

Paul Howell · Jun 7, 2020

Did it have dreaded blue base and curle?

Ehh sincerely I don't remember, but I developed many Fomapan 100s and they all had a clear base and did not curl.

I shot Foma 400, like it, but the blue base made it hard for me the read the negative.
