Fomapan 100 - 35mm, 24 exposures

Fomapan 100 Classic is a slow, fine-grained black and white film. It’s the one to reach for on bright days, for portraits, landscapes and anything where you want smooth tones and detail.

It uses classic cubic grain rather than the tabular grain of modern films like Delta 100 or T-Max 100, which gives it a gentler, vintage feel.

Two things worth knowing before your first roll.

Your camera’s ISO dial doesn’t have to match the box. Plenty of people set it to 64 or 80 instead of 100, which gives the film a little more light and keeps detail in the shadows. If your first roll comes back looking thin or muddy in the dark areas, try that.

Long exposures need extra time. Once your shutter speed is slower than about half a second, you have to give the film more than the meter says. Keep Foma’s exposure table handy.

This 24 exposure roll is the cheap way to try it or to test a camera. If you shoot more, the 36 exposure roll works out cheaper per frame.

Develops in Fomadon P, Foma’s equivalent of the classic D-76 developer, or in Rodinal, HC-110 and most other standard developers. Look up times for your developer on the Massive Dev Chart.
