I bought three rolls of Fomapan Creative 200 from AW to use in my Nikon FM for some coastal photography here in the north east of England. I'm happy with the results, and the price of this film makes it a great deal. The grainy images it produces have the 'old-fashioned' look that I was hoping to achieve. This film might lack some of the punch, clarity and contrast of higher end products, but it's reliable, does the job well, and produces a images that have a nostalgic look that I enjoy. Will definitely use again.

I found this film quite good for landscapes and architecture, as it handled the details of the photos very well. however, being quite a low speed film, it didn't handle low light very well (perhaps this was my metering, but see the 3rd photo find in daylight under shade). trichromes quite nicely as well (2nd photo). overall good cheap alternative, though I did notice quite a bit of sprocket tearing and when loading the film did tear a lot (this could just be my technique, though this hasn't happened before now).

This is my first time out with Fomapan 200, and definitely not my last. It has a serious depth to it, but is perhaps not as forgiving as TriX. That said, this is a film that can really perform, especially in full sun. I’m looking forward to using it more, and will certainly keep a roll in my camera bag from now on…

Solid alternative when Ilford is to expensive. Not a lot of contrast so I tend to push it.

Once again I experimented with an inexpensive B/W film. The results were interesting. This is a good film for getting a vintage, old school, retro kind of vibe and this can work in many contexts.

I ought to point out that this particular film came without a DX code so as a newbie to modern film photography I got a bit of a surprise. AW, however, are both helpful and good communicators.
