The Fomapan Experience
In order to teach myself how to develop film again, I bought a couple of rolls of Fomapan Actionfilm from Freestyle. Fomapan is made somewhere in eastern Europe and is an old school black and white film. When I say it is “old school,” I mean that it doesn’t use tabular grain technology. I have been pleasantly surprised with qualify of the finished product. I really destroyed my first couple of rolls of Fomapan developing them by hand but I was still able to produce interesting images with my scanner. I think that the film has an interesting character that is in many ways better than the more expensive films on the market.
- Divide fomapan ISO numbers in half. 400 speed becomes 200, 200 becomes 100 etc.
- In HC110 agitate as much as you can.
- Focus on contrast and you will be rewarded.
