FomaPan 400 is perfect for sports: with the Action film loaded in your medium format camera, you will not have to worry about low-light situations or fast-moving subjects.
Rated at 400 but with the ability to deliver great results at 3200, this is a fantastic black and white emulsion.

Good film, definitely needs to be used in good lighting and with a camera that has a good flash. Outdoors in daytime is the best.
Photos come out really nice and great quality

Exciting
Such an exciting and cheap film to use! Quite grainy film look, in the way it looks retro. I liked it!
I got a box of the Foma Creative 200 in a wonderbox and thought I would try its faster sibling. I'm pleased to say it's just as good and is probably my new favourite film. Cheap too which is nice. It's so forgiving. I usually shoot it at ISO 800, but I don't bother getting the exposure spot on and just try to get within +- 1 stop. I have the lab develop at box speed. It handles this fine. With the right camera this film is usable freehand without flash in almost any lighting. It's a little grainy which isn't to everyone's taste but I like it. The grain isn't overpowering like pushed HP5+ or TMAX.

Perfect for street
I love Foma films for so many reasons. let me count the ways!
1. Cheap. So cheap that it has no business being this good.
2. Skin tones. Foma renders reds very differenty and smooths skin tones out so, so nicely. If you want a portrait film, this is it!
3. Versatile. I push Foma 400 to 16 and stand develop in Caffenol every single time and it is beautiful. I suspect it could easily go to 3200 too.
4. Value. Fomapan (with all their films) give you so much more film on a 35mm roll that any other company. I constantly get a bunch of extra shots, sometimes i get so many extra that I worry I haven't loaded my camera properly becasue I'm so far past the end point.

This film is very grainy when scanned but seems to print well. You do need to meter correctly for the shadows as it doesn't appear to have a lot of latitude but it does have a decent amount of contrast even without a yellow filter. This film probably has the look of the original 35mm Kodak Tri-X. I've got another two rolls to use up and look forward to the results. Lab procssed by Analogue Wonderland.
