The Retropan 320 Soft 4x5" Black and White Negative Film is a specially sensitized, panchromatic film that offers fine grain, superior resolution, and sharp contours. This high-quality film is renowned for its broad range of half-tones and soft light, making it an ideal choice for a variety of photography genres, including still life, architecture, experimental, landscape, and portrait photography. With an ISO sensitivity of 320/26deg, this versatile film provides exceptional results even when overexposed by a minimum of 1 EV (ISO 160/23deg) or underexposed by 2 EV (1250/32deg). This wide exposure latitude ensures flexibility and adaptability in various lighting conditions, enhancing its appeal for both amateur and professional photographers. The Retropan 320 Soft is compatible with variable contrast enlarging papers, particularly Fomabrom Variant and warm-toned silver-based papers like Fomatone MG Classic 131, 132, 133, 532-II, 542-II. However, it can also be used with other types of black and white enlarging papers, offering you a wide range of creative possibilities. To further enhance the monochromatic tonality, vividness, and plasticity of your photographs, you can tone the papers using Fomatoner Sepia brown toner. The film features a clear polyester base that is 0.175 mm thick and comes with an antihalo color backing that decolorizes during processing. In summary, the Retropan 320 Soft 4x5" Black and White Negative Film from Foma is a durable, professional-grade film that offers high-quality results, making it a valuable addition to any photographer's toolkit.

This is a challenging film. I?ve only shot and developed one roll so far, so I may have to update later on. For now: shot in flat lighting conditions (overcast skies) using a Yashica TLR, and developed using HC-110. Results were not impressive ? golfball-sized grain, muddy blacks, and poor detail retention in the highlights. 

That being said, the roll did not/not demonstrate the terrible QC problems plaguing the emulsion in other Foma in 120 format products. For that reason alone I?m inclined to give this one a second chance in a rig with lenses that will control lighting better, such as my Mamiya setup.

Challenging

Beautiful grain! This is a very affordable film to try with large format. It is not the best quality out there but still a very fun film to try with large format.

Nice grains!

Not only am I loving shooting with this film but Adorama absolutely made sure that it was packaged safely.

Love Adorama

I recommend this product it was really great shooting with it ! Perfect film for the type of pictures I wanted to produce which was dreamy and tons of grain!

Would buy again !

good film

This film has distinct characteristics.  Lots of grain - but maybe because how I process it?  It is very different from any other film I used in the past, and really fun.  Plan to make "vintage look" prints with this film and vintage camera!

Unique, Fun

Love this film!!

Shot this in overcast weather, using red filter, compensated only 1 stop, overdeveloped by 1 stop
This is one of my favorites now.
