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.

One of the most affordable film sheets out there for a large format. It always delivers for me and the grain is beautiful, highly recommended

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.

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.

If you're a professional photographer seeking high-quality, durable, and versatile black and white negative film, look no further than the Arista EDU Ultra 400 B&W Negative Film. This pack contains 50 sheets of 8x10" film, making it an affordable choice for those needing to produce a large volume of prints.

Designed to work seamlessly with all major processing systems, this film is ideal for a wide range of photography genres, including portrait, landscape, and still life. With an ISO of 400, it offers excellent performance in various lighting conditions, ensuring crisp, clear images every time.

The Arista EDU Ultra 400 B&W Negative Film is compatible with a variety of developers, including Arista 76 Powder, Arista Premium Powder, Arista Liquid Film Developer, Marathon Film Developer, Ilford ID-11, Kodak D-76, Kodak XTOL, Kodak TMAX Developer, Kodak HC 110, and Agfa Rodinal. The recommended developing times are based on intermittent agitation at a standardized temperature of 68 Degree F (20 Degree C). However, these times may vary depending on your specific environment and equipment.

For optimal results, 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 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 satisfactory results, adjust the recommended development times until the desired contrast is obtained.

In the unlikely event of a defect in manufacture, labeling, or packaging, rest assured that the material will be replaced. This commitment to quality underscores Arista's reputation as a trusted brand in the world of professional photography.
