From the esteemed house of Foma, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper emerges as a superior choice for black-and-white photography enthusiasts seeking a professional-grade, variable-contrast enlarging paper. This 8x10 inch velvet-finished paper, available in a pack of 25 sheets, is meticulously crafted to cater to both amateur and professional photographers, as well as those involved in commercial and artistic photography applications.The Fomaspeed Variant III is renowned for its high-quality, resin-coated (RC) base, which not only ensures durability but also contributes to a more efficient photographic process. The velvet surface of the paper offers a unique semi-matte texture that adds a soft, sophisticated touch to your prints, making it a versatile and affordable option for a wide array of photographic effects.With the ability to vary the contrast from extra soft to ultra hard using color filters at exposure, photographers have unparalleled creative control to express their vision. The paper boasts a rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, ensuring shining whites and deep, saturated blacks. The silver chlorobromide emulsion used in the manufacturing process imparts a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the print.The emulsion layer is specially formulated with developing agents that allow for rapid machine processing, significantly reducing development times to 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius for manual processing. The thin emulsion layer, combined with the resin-coated base, not only shortens the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying but also minimizes the consumption of processing baths and washing water, making it an environmentally conscious choice.In summary, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper with its velvet finish is a high-quality, durable, and professional medium that offers both versatility and affordability. It is designed to deliver consistent results, as evidenced by user experiences, and is an excellent selection for those who value the tactile beauty of a velvet finish in their photographic work.

Great B & W enlargement paper.

It is a decent utility paper, but highlights sometimes come out a little muddy due to the paper itself not being a bright white.  And while polyphenol developers can work with this paper, the silver in the emulsion tends to react leaving the whole sheet with a slight greyish tint that compresses the tonal range.  Regular paper developers work just fine.

A decent utility paper

Excellent product, at least in my cameras it seems to be ISO 8.

Great product

Great tonality, especially for the price!

Great product and price

I have tried other Foma products before. I’m a fan of Foma Classic 100 film with its great classic look and great contrast.

I have also used Fomafix fixer and also find it good product.

This photo paper is also a great product at a really amazing affordable price. Very recommended!

A great product at a really amazing affordable price

I used this in a photography class to create long-exposure pin-hole camera images. It was great at capturing and recording enough light to then print by photographing with an ipad, enhancing and then printing the reverse image. Will use again.

great product for pinhole cameras

Beautiful paper, easy to use and dries very nice and flat. Took a few tries to get the hang of how the paper worked best, but it’s been very consistent ever since. I love the velvet finish. I’d definitely repurchase.
