Using Foma paper w/ Kodak Chem's

I want to try Fomabrom Variant f.b. paper with Kodak Polymax dev. and reg. Kodak Fixer. Any one have experience with such a combo and any info on dev. and fixing times? Any other combo's you would suggest?

There's nothing exotic about any of these materials.

The manufacturer's data sheets will give you all the answers

Welcome to APUG .

Just be sure that fixer is fresh, developer is also good to have fresh. Make some test - it will work just fine for sure.

It will be fine - We use Foma with D-76 and Ilford Fixer ... three brands and somehow good pictures still result.

I use Foma papers, FB and RC, graded and RC and have used Dektol, Polymax, Ethol LPD, Edwal Ultra Black and a very old can of GAF paper developer. I was using up all of my old stock. Both Dektol and Plymax work just fine, my personal preference is LPD. Same with fixer, my standard fix is Kodak, but I have T4 as well with no issues.

Ralph - Czech Republic is pure capitalist country for around 25 years, for example they make better cars than British folks .

Dear Darkosaric....

In your opinion ! Off topic but !

The SKODA (VW) family of vehicles are indeed now very fine Automobiles...in the 60's 70's and 80's they were significantly worse than British Leyland vehicles and that's saying something believe me.. and in history the Czech Tatra vehicles were indeed revolutionary and in context the modern day Skoda is probably a match than any cost equivalent vehicle made in Britain today ( Mini ? ) but unfortunately they have no cache . The British car manufacturing sector specializes in high value, luxury vehicles such as Jaguar / Land Rover / Bentley / Rolls Royce / Aston Martin / McLaren / Morgan etc and is going from strength to strength ( although all Foreign owned except McLaren and Morgan) ordinary vehicles are made in the UK but nearly all Japanese, Nissan / Toyota and Honda and very good they are.

In saying that I love the Czech Republic and have spent many happy times there.
