Good times

My first black and white roll of film and I'm really pleased with the results. Great price, lovely nostalgic grain. I used it for portraits and landscapes and am happy with both.

This was the first roll of film I have ever shot. I put it through a beginner friendly Olympus OM10 and was so happy with my results.

I've given it 5 star as I find it looks sharp with little noise, and also has nice contrast with deep blacks. As a complete beginner to analogue photography, I feel the results give credit to the film.

Rather different to the 100 and 400 stocks, this one actually appears to work at box speed, but it pays to be careful to give accurate expoosure. Nice tones and I have found the grain is quite acceptable.

surprisingly versatile & my results were far more consistant than using the 400! recommended.

Great film roll to go for when unsure whatever you will be shooting inside/outside or what the light will be like.

Good contrast and a great price so you can shoot a few more frames than expensive stuff.

I used a roll of this to test an old 60's Fujica rangefinder (which I was pleasantly surprised to learn was working), though the stock is nothing to write home about.

I shot it on sunny days and found that unless there were some very serious shadows around, it lacked contrast. Where other stocks I've used would've given more contrast in well-lit areas, this struggled with more flat shades of grey.

When there was drastic shadows, it came out quite nice, but I would definitely be looking at something a little pricier than this for proper shooting and leaving this one just for testing potentially non-working cameras.

This film is what analogue is for, impossible to replicate with digital, I am stunned at the gritty look of this film. Great price and so cool that it's Czech.

I quite like Fomapan 200. It's sharp, low-grain, contrasty, and quite pleasant to look at. The only reason it's missing the 5th star is that it just doesn't have the vintage rendering and charm of its faster brother Fomapan 400.
All pics here shot at 125 ISO and developed as normal - how I'd recommend using the film.

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…
