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.

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

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!

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.

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.

How does the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper stand out in the world of black-and-white photography This variable-contrast enlarging photographic paper, built on a sturdy resin-coated (RC) paper base, offers a wide range of contrast adjustments, from extra soft to ultra hard, simply by using color filters at exposure.
Designed to cater to a variety of photography styles, including amateur, commercial, and artistic, this paper also finds use in other applications. The Fomaspeed Variant III is renowned for its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, a radiant white paper base, and deeply saturated blacks, all contributing to the creation of striking and memorable images.
The paper's manufacturing process involves the use of a silver chlorobromide emulsion, which imparts a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image. This unique emulsion also contains developing agents that facilitate rapid machine processing and reduce manual processing times to a mere 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius.
The Fomaspeed Variant III's resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer not only shorten the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying, but also minimize the consumption of processing baths and washing water. This product is available in a glossy, matte, and velvet surface, offering photographers a choice to match their creative vision.
In essence, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper, Velvet, 5x7", 25 Sheets, is a versatile and eco-friendly choice for photographers seeking to capture the world in stunning black-and-white.
