Fomapan 100 Classic - B&W 120 Film

Excellent fine grained B&W film

I have not yet exposed the recently recieved film but since I have used the film before, this review is based upon that. I was looking for a 120 black & white film to use with my Ondu pinhole camera. I chose Fomapan Classic because of good reviews from others. Although the box speed is ISO 100, i decided to expose it at ISO 125 and based my adjusted exposure times on that speed. The results were very good indeed considering that it was the first film I had used in my pinhole camera. I scanned my negatives with my Epson V500 flatbed scanner using Vuescan software. The resulting scans required minimal adjustment post-scanning in Photoshop. (Contrast & Brightness only). I would recommend this film for anyone who is looking for an economical film with a wide exposure latitude.

First impression

Recently became interested in trying a bit of photography after inheriting a proper old film camera. After a bit of searching about the internet, I found that this was the page that had the best prices etc. After placing the order (3 of this product), the dispatching of the order was quick and it arrived a few days later (ordered on Friday, received on Monday). After a bit of faff, I worked out how to get the film into the camera properly, and I began taking photographs. I’ve not finished the rolls yet, but I definitely intend to have them developed by Stuck in Film, due to the good first impression.
