Usable. Is it any good? No. Is it better than Kentmere? No, Kentmere is more predictable. But this one is more old-school, reminds me old Soviet Svema films. At least it can be manageable as other Foma films are straight write-off, unless you under rate their speed a lot and using low contrast developer and being very careful with highlights and...nevermind : ) If you're new to the film world, you can try this, it's fun. For a serious project? Be careful.

There’s a huge amount to be said for this film (even if I prefer the retro packaging version), giving flexibility in lighting, despite not being a 400, while retaining non-intrusive grain, and giving nice contrast.

I shot this roll on a reasonably dull, grey day, but as long as there wasn’t too much sky in the shot (at which point the grain did become obvious), it performed brilliantly (I especially like the treatment of the puffy jackets, which retained their sheen in the processed shots).

For reference, shot in a Yashica 635, and developed in ID-11 at 1+3 (for a little added sharpness) for 13 minutes.

I expected not very much, and I was pleasantly suprised!
Great midtones and highlights!
get some!

If you’re looking for a cheap film stock that isn’t special but isn’t bad, definitely get this. it’s a solid choice with good grain and pushes quite nicely. would definitely recommend.

This is my go to film when shooting 120, I love its versatility, finer grain and cheaper price! I highly recommend it and have been shooting it for a while in various lighting situations.

I've been using Fomapan for years as an alternative to HP5/T-MAX & it does the job so well - love the grain & contrast.

I've used this film in my 35mm camera's, but I just got a Rolleicord and wanted to use something cheaper to test out it was all working okay.
There were a couple of shots where I messed up on rolling on and got some double exposures, and I'm new to completely manual shooting, but even then I think the film itself still looks great, and it's very forgiving if you don't get it perfectly exposed. Lovely grain, but still sharp - can't wait to shoot some more.
Shot box speed, developed with 510 Pyro, water stop, Tetenal Superfix tabs. Unedited.

I bought Romo 200, as something to bridge the gap, between the 100 & 400. This emulsion, I later found out, is not the same. It's reciprocity is actually worse than the 100 film. This extends pinhole expose considerably.

Not too expensive. Gives a grany older look to the photos but overall I was quite happy with the results. I particularly like the portraits. The best picures were on clear sunny days with lots of natural light.

I used this with an old tlr that didn't have a light meter so I had to rely on other methods for exposures but luckily it's very forgiving!

slap my thighs and call me Shirly this great value for money. lovely tones and shades forgiving decent grain. if it were bigger id hug it.

Amazed at the exposure latitude on this film and how sharp it is! Amazing price too :-)

Using a cheap film stock like this and pushing it an extra two stops gives you crazy contrast and I kinda love it. These are all 120 shot on a Mamiya RB67, with that price I definitely recommend.

Reliable no dramatic changes when developing ideal for cloudy rainy days you can trust this film to document but if you want more creative results opt for other brands

It's a decent all round film and especially like the subtle grain. It's good to keep a roll or two handy for bright days.
