It is a silm that is best to shoot the whole roll without letting it sit as the substrate plastic will "take a set" that can make it difficult to thread onto a steel reel. I gave it only 4 stars because pinhole defects in the emulsion do occur, and the substrate is not entirely transparent muddying some images. It is a film you want to bracket with just in case one of the images has a pinhole defect.

It arrived safely with no exterior damage to either the shipping bag or to the item itself. Upon checking the item for completeness, I did find that there was no data sheet inside or on the outside of the box. This data sheet would have had information about the grain, the spectral sensitivity of the emulsion, as well as some developing information. Though the latteri can be determined via experimentation, it would be easier to have some manufacturers baseline data from which to start and to compare to. Until the above data has been determined this product will be a lot of fun to work with so as to fill in those missing baseline data which is something a lot of photographers enjoy doing.

I've only recently given Foma films a try after reading reviews and seeing some samples. Once I got the scans back I was really impressed with the amount of contrast and the relatively low grain. Definitely will be keeping some rolls of this in my refrigerator.
