FOMA Fomapan 100 | 135-36
Fomapan 100 Classic is a traditional, medium-slow black-and-white negative film with fine, cubic grain and a timeless tonal character. Rated at ISO 100, it delivers crisp detail and a smooth midtone roll-off that flatters textures, skin, and architectural lines alike. Contrast is moderate and easy to steer in development, giving you plenty of control whether you prefer a gentle, classic look or something with more bite. Exposure latitude is generous for a 100-speed stock; many photographers rate it around EI 80–100 for fuller shadows and silky highlights. In bright light or studio setups, Fomapan 100 excels at producing clean, printable negatives that scan beautifully without aggressive noise reduction. Long exposures are possible with reciprocity compensation, making it a strong option for landscapes and fine-art work. If you love that classic black-and-white aesthetic—fine grain, graceful tonality, and predictable darkroom behavior—Fomapan 100 Classic is a budget-friendly staple you can trust. Process in standard black-and-white chemistry for consistent, archival results.
