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.

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.

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!
