Rated 4 out of 5

A Solid Film, If Somewhat Grainy for the Speed

After having tried Arista EDU's 35mm and 120 films, I figured I'd give their 4x5 film a go as well. It's far less expensive than Kodak, Ilford, and others, and while it does have its quirks and occasional quality control issues, it's an all-around solid performer. The grain structure is a bit larger than ISO 400 films from other brands, but given the sheer size of 4x5 negatives, it still offers smooth tones, great detail, and overall nice images. It also has a wide enough exposure latitude that it lends itself well to using the zone system for metering, exposure, and development. I used this technique to create the attached image. While I might not use this film for the most critical work, it's still good for scanning to print digital negatives for making alternative process prints. With a decent flatbed scanner that can handle film, it's easy to get images that are well over 200 and even 300 megapixels. If you're looking to cut your teeth in large format, I think you'll find this film to be a great bang for the buck.

Great film.

I have had great luck with this film. Less expensive than Kodak and comes in 2 ISO ratings. The 100 takes especially sharp photos.

I like this film a lot.

I like this film a lot. I think that Foma might be the manufacturer. I have no issues with it at all, and I think it looks great, develops evenly with out HC-110, and it scans well.

Rated 3 out of 5

Good for those on a budget or doing exercises to learn to use their camera.

Min much cheaper than most B+W films. It has a strong grain which isn't so much of a concern with large format, but the fact that it is noticeable in a 4x5 image tells you how strong the grain is. I bought this film to use while I familiarized myself with my new (to me) view camera. I'm not likely to use it much in the future as I am seeking minimal grain, high accutance, clear blacks etc. If I want noise in my picture I prefer to add it if and as I want in post processing but not in the film negative.

Are you in search of a high-quality B&W negative film for your photography needs Look no further than the EDU Ultra 400 B&W Negative Film, sized at 5x7" and available in a pack of 50 sheets. This product is a part of the esteemed Arista.EDU Ultra line, known for its compatibility with all major processing systems.

The EDU Ultra 400 B&W Negative Film is designed to deliver normal contrast negatives when developed under recommended conditions. These conditions are based on intermittent agitation and standardized for a temperature of 68 Degree F (20 Degree C). However, please note that your developing time may vary depending on your environment and equipment used.

This film works seamlessly with a range of developers. For instance, with the Arista 76 Powder, you can expect a developing time of 7 - 8 minutes when used at stock dilution, and 12 - 13 minutes at a 1:1 dilution. Similarly, the Arista Premium Powder requires 7 1/2 minutes at stock dilution and 8 1/2 minutes at a 1:1 dilution.

Other compatible developers include the Arista Liquid Film Developer, Arista Premium Liquid Developer, Marathon Film Developer, Ilford ID-11, Kodak D-76, Kodak XTOL, Kodak TMAX Developer, Kodak HC 110, and Agfa Rodinal. Each developer requires specific dilution ratios and developing times, which are provided for your convenience.

For optimal results, it's recommended to agitate continuously for the first 30 seconds of development, followed by 5 to 7 inversion cycles for 5 seconds every 30 seconds for the remainder of the development time. If you're 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 current system is producing satisfactory results, you can adjust the recommended development times until you achieve the desired contrast.

The EDU Ultra 400 B&W Negative Film is committed to quality, promising to replace any material found defective in manufacture, labeling, or packaging. This commitment ensures you receive a product that meets your high standards and enhances your photography experience.
