Classic 100 120 Film
FOMAPAN 100 Classic is a black and white negative panchromatic film with Exposure Index 100 ISO. It is suitable for taking photographs in various lighting situations and in different fields of application. It meets high requirements for grain quality, high resolving power (110 lines per mm) and sharpness of outlines. Its sensitivity is calibrated to 100 ISO but thanks to its wide exposure latitude it can be overexposed by 1 stop(50 ISO) or underexposed by up to two stops (400 ISO). It produces negatives suitable for being greatly enlarged. Compatible with all types of black-and-white negative film developers and all black-and-white printing papers. For in-depth information and operating instructions, you can consult our collection of data sheets.

Great value film, with plenty of dynamic range and interpretation for character. Scans well, the base is thick enough to spiral load without any issues. Emulsion seems to be quite thin/delicate (lower silver quantity = cheaper film) so can be easily scratched/marked so I take a little extra care when handling this emulsion.I pre-wash all my films by default, but if you are using dev several times in a row and don't want it turning bright green then pre-wash it at 21℃ for 3-5 minutes in water and then wash again for 10s if you really want to remove all traces of the (I think) anti-halation layer.Overall, my go-to film for more casual/fun work, camera testing, and anything spontaneous that is a risky shoot and might not turn out the best results. I don't think any ... MoreGreat value film, with plenty of dynamic range and interpretation for character. Scans well, the base is thick enough to spiral load without any issues.

To be honest I bought this because it was the cheapest film on the site that wasn't "exotic" so I wasn't expecting great things. However, I've been very pleased with the results. (It's also the first film I've developed at home in about 30 years!). I shoot a vintage Yashica D TLR and major on landscapes and architecture. Really nice contrast. A bit more grainy than the XP2 I normally shoot (because of the C41 processing) but by home processing this works out at half the price and it's not too ugly.I've bought the 400 ISO variant as well (and some Ilford orthochrome) so we'll see how it compares. But so far I'm very happy, and so is my wallet. I've included a few of my images.

After shooting Ilford 120 film and trying to load its thicker acetate base onto a steel roller (it held its curl too well and was a struggle to get on a reel--ended up kinking it a lot), this film with a thinner base was a lot easier to load, since it didn't hold its curl as well. It unrolled and loaded much easier. You just have to be lighter handling it and it will load easily.I develop with D-76 and what a surprise when I finished the develop phase and dumped the developer: it went in clear and came out... GREEN??!? I thought something went wrong, or that I left some tape on, or... But the negatives came out fine. Shot in a converted Polaroid 110A, the negatives came out with contrast that's a little lower than I'm used to, but look like they were actually shot ... MoreAfter shooting Ilford 120 film and trying to load its thicker acetate base onto a steel roller (it held its curl too well and was a struggle to get on a reel--ended up kinking it a lot), this film with a thinner base was a lot easier to load, since it didn't hold its curl as well.

I love the look of this film for that purpose.An unexposed negative developed and fixed looks darker than Fomapan 35mm film, which I'm puzzled at. It's not the same emulsion. It seems however, that it's an identical emulsion to Arista 100 120 film, which turns D-76 developer green as well. Even the markings on the edge are the same. I mean, it's sort of strange when the letters on the edge of this Fomapan film say Ultra 100 on it.But overall I like this film and will buy it again.

It’s good. I think. But only I think as I’ve had very very small black dots across the surface of the film multiple times over the past few years. You can hardly notice this on a screen or when shared on social media. But on big prints that stuff kinda stands out. But at this price what can you complain about? Love the contrast & tone, love the way it handles. Just weird little spots.
I am a recent returner to film photography having just bought an old Yashicamat TLR. I was reluctant to spend too much on film until I had some experience under my belt, as I planned to undertake the whole picture creating process from taking, developing and finally printing myself. I found Fomapan 100 on the Analogue Wonderland website at a very competitive price. I was delighted with the results after taking some general pictures with the TLR and found the film very forgiving with respect to my fumbling through the process of manual exposure on the camera and subsequent difficulties encountered with my first time efforts at loading into the developing tank and processing. I would say after developing my first roll, that it is important to ensure develooping times ... MoreI am a recent returner to film photography having just bought an old Yashicamat TLR.

I would say after developing my first roll, that it is important to ensure develooping times are adherred to pretty strictly as the first roll came out a little overexposed/overdeveloped . My second roll was much better after ensuring that development times and temperatures were as specified. I would add however that there were a lot of variables that could have contributed to my first roll failures, like unfamiliar camrea, manual metering, first time developing etc, but being so reasonably priced it meant that I was able to experiment without investing too much money. From the prints that I have developed the film appears to record a good range of tones requiring minimal post processsing adjustment, contrast is good and I would say unless you need super critical quality, Fomapan would serve most film photographer's needs. I have compared results that I have achieved with Ilford 125 film taken on my Bronica some 30 years ago with that of my recent experiences with Fomapan and to be honest i can see no real difference in quality
It's a film I regularly buy and develop because of its cheap price and consistent amazing results. The film offers a good amount of contrast when exposing correctly and even more when underexposing by one or two stops. It has relatively fine grain when used at stock iso. I've pushed this film all the way to 1600 and the contrast at that speed is insane yet the grain is still pretty fine for that speed. It also has pretty good dynamic range as I usually meter by eye when using this film and I don't think I've ever gotten frames that were unusable because of it. Another nice touch is that the paper wrapper that you use to close off the film at the end has a sticky back that can be peeled off and used to tape up the film at the end of the roll which I prefer over using ... MoreIt's a film I regularly buy and develop because of its cheap price and consistent amazing results.

I did some photos for my friend with this film, and she has been posting some of the photos on her Instagram. Everyone seems to be loving the effect and asking her what filters she used to get it. This film has a more traditional emulsion with a very different grain structure from something like TMax or Acros. It stands out and really gives photos from this film a lot of character. One thing of note. If you're using this film for the first time, make sure to wind the film until you see the start arrows. Not the word start, but the familiar arrows. That was one of the mistakes I made the very first time I used it (facepalm), and if the internet is to be believed, it appears that it's not that uncommon to make this mistake the first time you use it. You will lose one ... MoreI did some photos for my friend with this film, and she has been posting some of the photos on her Instagram.

You will lose one frame if you make this mistake, so it's not the end of the world, but it's good to be aware of. If you want ultimate sharpness and resolving power, this is not the film you are looking for. This is a film that gives you feelings and a look you can't find anywhere else. At first when I started using it, I wasn't sure about it. It's fairly inexpensive compared to the other films I regularly use, but when I developed it, I fell in love with the results. I've been buying it ever since and using it for those special projects where nothing else will give you that look this film has. The effect is very distinct and special, and flipping through my medium format negatives, I can often pick out my Fomapan negatives without even looking at the markings on the edge, and the photos leave me feeling warm and happy.
I ran this through a small 1928-34 Zeiss IKON Box Tenger camera I found in a second hand shop last month. I was really pleased with the results, despite some blur due to my unsteadiness. The contrast is exactly what I like, and if it wasn't for the increased cost per shot over 35mm, I'd probably use it more often. It's likely I'll pick up a bit more for various occasions when I feel I can be steadier so getting better value per roll.
Solid, classic looking black and white film. One of my favourites. Don't be fooled by the price it's very versatile and provides quality results in all sorts of developers. My only frustration with it is the circular hole in the backing paper that often affects the last couple of frames if you use a camera with a red film counter window - e.g. pinhole, Holga, folding cameras. Two examples here - action shot of my son with gorgeous tonality, sharpness and grain... and then the annoying circle burned into the neg from the hole on the backing paper taken with my pinhole camera.
The Fomapan 100 Classic 4x5 sheet film is beyond reproach, but I'm afraid that the corresponding roll film has disappointed me in three aspects.Zero'th, you should be aware that the antihalation coating on both sheet and roll film is a dense blue-green dye, and though I presume that it's harmless, it really is daunting to see the developer come out of the film processing looking kinda green. Just rinse four times in water and on this score, there's nothing to complain about thereafter.First, now, you have to expect that the developed film is very curly. I do my printing via scanner, and it's a pain to get the film to lie flat in the negative holder.Second, when you look at the proof prints, you may notice annoying pinholes, (black on the finished image) ... MoreThe Fomapan 100 Classic 4x5 sheet film is beyond reproach, but I'm afraid that the corresponding roll film has disappointed me in three aspects.Zero'th, you should be aware that the antihalation coating on both sheet and roll film is a dense blue-green dye, and though I presume that it's harmless, it really is daunting to see the developer come out of the film processing looking kinda green.

There is no such phenomenon with the sheet film.Third and finally, the grain is noticeable in high magnification. This *seems* worse than on the sheet film (same magnification).My recommendation: without reservation for the sheet film, but for the roll film, be warned.
