Bill Bowes Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hello everyone. Rick's comments about the EDU 200 film also extend to the Foma 200 emulsions, both 120 & 35. Foma has made the EDU emulsions for Freestyle Camera for close to 10 years now, and the manufacture "defects" have stayed with the film until now. The 100 or 400 speed emulsions for the most part work without fault. Why the hell Freestyle has allowed the film to STILL have the defects beats me. Foma must be divided, since they have made no attempts (IMHO) to correct an otherwise excellent emulsion. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Back when Paterson sold film, their Acupan films were made by Foma as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 It's been a great week of photos, everyone. Spent some time yesterday and the day before late afternoon helping a neighbor cut down part of a tree that fell across his driveway. Part of it landed on his mid-80s Ford Bronco but did little damage. Luckily his wife's vehicle was out of the way. Might use a few of my photos of this. Took us two chainsaws and a lot of dragging branches to the street to clean it up. Roll of Plus-X with some tree photos is hanging up to dry at the moment so likely I'll scan in time to start the new thread tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bowes Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hello everyone. Chuck, I really do not think Freestyle is accepting the 200 material in their EDU films without some type of pressure by Foma about them supplying the 100 or 400 material. From what I read off several European blogs, Foma knowns of the 200 flaws but has made no attempt to fix their processes. The Lucky & Shanghi films from China died from lack of sales, due to emulsion issues. Photographers know crap when they see it & don't return to buy another roll. Here is a frame from this weekend of vintage car racing. Fed-2 / Jupiter-8, Rollei 80s, OA & V800 scan. Bill 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
