Capturing History in Rich Shadows

I loaded a roll of Holga 400 on my Yashica-C Twin Lens Reflect camera to photograph the old buildings in San Francisco's Chinatown. The details I was able to capture and the rich tones are amazing. I'm looking forward to shooting the next roll.

Good budget option

This is basically Foma 400 repackaged as Holga. If you're not familiar with Foma films, there are a couple of things you should be aware of: First, these films are almost never actually what their box speed says they are. Shoot this at 400 with standard development times, and you're going to get thin, excessively grainy images. This film produces best results when over-exposed about a stop or so. So treat it like a 200 speed film. Secondly, Foma films are much grainier than other films in the same (advertised) speed group. For example, Foma 100, though having a true speed of about 64, is about as grainy as 400 speed Tri-X and HP5+! Some see this as a weakness, others a selling point. If exposed and developed properly, Foma 400 can produce some beautiful, "old fashioned" looking results. Just don't expect it to behave like Tmax or Delta or Acros, because it's world's apart from them.

Disappointed

I wasn't very excited to try this film but nothing came out when I developed the roll. I was very disappointed. I'm assuming I needed more light.

Excellent Grain

I've paired this film with a Holga GCFN (Glass Lens, Color Flash Filter), and found it to be ideal when capturing the details of a portrait, while also slightly distorting the background. On it's own, the film is crisp, with a smooth grain that shows well in the sharpest areas of the negative. Using it on the Holga, the distortion and vignetting allows the central focus to be on the subject, with smooth tones on the skin.
