Plastic Canister/weird advance

I finally got to run a roll through my Canon IID2 rangefinder and found the film advance very crunchy and resistant. I'm also not thrilled about these plastic canisters.

Arista OK, but not Kodak

Kodak is best but twice the price. This stuff is about ASA 200, not 400, it also needs more than the indicated development time. Trial and error will tell how much to over expose and develop. You can get good results

Arista is Difficult

OK but not Kodak. Certainly not ASA 400, 250 tops. Also 14 minutes at 68 F. is still flat with D76 1:1. The best thing is the price, and that unlike 120 Arista which curls, this stuff stays flat.

Great film for bulk loading! I've had great results from Arista branded film in the past and am excited to see what this higher ISO 400 film can do.

Amazing Film - Great Quality!

The photos came out looking really crisp (minus a couple I overexposed) and the affordability of this black and white film vs. color film is awesome. Would recommend!

Great stuff, even for non-students

It?s rebranded Fomapan 400, so it inherits all its forebear?s qualities.

Quality product at a reasonable price!

Exactly was I needed! Taking a black and white film developing course this semester and this was on the required materials list.

Ordered 3 rolls. One defective. The film tab was inside the canister so could not be used.

Dreany

Love the grainy, dreamy quality of this stock. I picked it up since so many people compared it to the old school Kodak Tri-X. Seems to halate more (could just be my lens), but was definitely very pleasing. If you're looking for pristine and grain free then move on. If you like some character, contrast, grain, and maybe some dreaminess (depending on your lens) then have at it.

Great film

I have recently purchased the bulk film. It has worked very well, and is a lot cheaper than buying individual rolls. Would recommend this object.

Good but fragile

Workable discount film with a decent range of tones. Scratches SUPER easily in development and while handling. The emulsion is thin.

A nicely balanced film

A nicely balanced film, with a wide exposure lattitude when your meter fails. Develops nicely in D76

Whether you're capturing stunning landscapes, intimate portraits, or intricate still life images, this film ensures crisp, clear, and detailed results every time.

This film is compatible with all major processing systems and is recommended for normal contrast negatives. It's designed for optimal performance at a standardized temperature of 68 degrees F (20 degrees C).

The dilution and developing times for each developer are provided to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

For optimal development, it's recommended to agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds, followed by 5 to 7 inversion cycles for 5 seconds every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time. If using a rotary processor with continuous agitation, reduce the developing times by 15%.

Please note that development times may need adjusting to suit individual processing systems and working practices. If your established system is producing good results, adjust the recommended development times until the desired contrast is obtained.
