A nice balanced film with wide exposure lattitude.

A nice balanced film with wide exposure lattitude. Develops nicely in D76 stock strength, (there is an antihalation dye layer which will turn your chemistry a bluish green unless you pre-rinse with water, but it does not impact other film if you reuse the developer withput a pre-wash)

Best 4x5 film for the money

In this case, I’ll take quantity over quality. Not that this film is lacking in quality, I was pleasantly surprised by its sharpness and grain structure.

WARNING — these shed tiny threads into your film camera!! Zero stars.

This is a review of reloadable plastic film cassettes. I would not recommend this product. The light-sealing felt flocking is very loosely woven. Little chunks of black lint are sched from the light seal when I even lightly run a finger across the slit where the film comes out. As film is pulled through these are shedding tiny black threads. Thankfully I noticed this before I put one of these into one of my treasured film cameras!! If you want your mechanical camera to ingest tiny pieces of lint as film is advanced, then yeah — these are the ones to get!

Best budget film

For a budget 120 B&W Fomapan is great, nice grain, negatives dry and scan nicely, I would recommend shooting at box speed as this film doesn’t push well
