Fomapan 200 Creative balances speed and refinement with a modern, fine-grain look and a touch more punch than slower films. At ISO 200 it’s comfortable in daylight, open shade, and interiors with window light, making it a versatile choice for portraits, travel, and documentary work. Tonality is classic but lively: clean midtones, snappy micro-contrast, and highlights that can be kept in check with careful metering. Grain is tighter than you’d expect at this speed and scans translate detail cleanly without heavy smoothing. Exposure latitude is forgiving; many shooters rate it between ISO 125 and 200 for fuller shadows, while pushing to 400 adds grit and drama without falling apart. Development controls contrast effectively, so you can dial the look from soft and airy to graphic and bold. If you want one film that handles a wide range of light with a crisp, modern-meets-classic rendering—and at a friendly price—Fomapan 200 Creative is an easy everyday pick. Process in standard black-and-white chemistry.
