Which Fomapan is the best?
Great Performance As you might expect, Fomapan 100 Classic and 200 Creative have the best grain qualities; very fine and lots of detail. But honestly, Fomapan 400 Action is nearly indistinguishable from the two slower speeds in terms of grain, contrast, and image quality.
How good is Fomapan 100?
Fomapan is a grainy film, even at 100 ISO, yet it is also a very sharp film. The grain is very aesthetic and quite wonderful, but can be hinder optimal results. When doing landscape work now I generally choose Kodak TMax 100 over Fomapan for a number of reasons.
Is Fomapan a good film?
Fomapan 100 is a good looking film when shot to its strengths, but it’s about as old-school as a black-and-white film can get. While its comically large grain and stunted technical capabilities deliver images tinged with nostalgia, they’re also annoying enough to make the film an anachronism.
What does FOMA mean in slang?
harmless untruths
Foma, a term meaning “harmless untruths” from the fictional religion Bokononism in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Cat’s Cradle. Foma, the narrator of Nikolai Gogol’s short story “A Bewitched Place”
Is the FOMA 200 good for high contrast?
It’s a fairly high contrast scene, but most other films pick up some detail in the rolls of paper. In the literature, Foma claim the 200 can handle expsoures at +1 to -2 EV (EI 100 to EI 800) with no change in development, but I don’t think this shot quite proves that out.

Which is better fomapan 200 or Kentmere 100?
Overall, I’d give Fomapan Creative 200 3.5 stars. It’s really a nice, relatively inexpensive film, and to be honest, I probably prefer it to Kentmere 100 and FP4+ (and definitely prefer it to T-Max 100), though it’s probably not a fair comparison. Foma Creative has a box speed of 200, after all, and it’s a tabular grain film.
Is the fomapan 200 an expsoure camera?
In the literature, Foma claim the 200 can handle expsoures at +1 to -2 EV (EI 100 to EI 800) with no change in development, but I don’t think this shot quite proves that out. Again, that could be as much camera as film, I guess, and I happily admit that I know next to nothing about films, cameras, developers, or any of that.
