rich815 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I've been buying a number of odd lots of film lately and put this roll into one of my Rolleiflexes a few weeks ago. Other than setting the dial to 400 to remember how to expose it I did not make any other notes as to exactly which film it was. Now I've finished the roll and have discovered no identification as to which film it is, other than, as you can see, B&W Pan 400. Anyone recognize it and can ID it for me?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert lee Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Looks like Fomapan. Just a guess though. Maybe develop an (unimportant) roll and check the edge code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. salty Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Those loose rolls make me think it's J & C 400 film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johan_g._steller1 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 fomapan 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich815 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks. I have some Fortepan 400 which has some similar markings but clear shows it to be Fortepan 400. Got 4 rolls of Fomapan 200 in a mixed batch lately but for the life of me cannot remember getting a roll of Fomapan 400 and have no others I can find. But by virture of process of elimination, and comments here, I guess it must be Fomapan 400. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiripivonka Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Definitely Fomapan 400. Expose it as 320, or 250 depending o used developer. Very nice film with the exception of curling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich815 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks Jiri. Yeah, the curl. I get that severely from Fortepan and Bergger films too. Too bad they are such nice films! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteenthumbs Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Load a roll and empty spool into a changing bag/tent, rewind the exposed roll then check the leader for film type information, then wind it back so the exposed label shows so that you won't shoot it again.

robert_marvin Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'm holding an exposed roll of Arista Edu Ultra 400 [re-labeled Foma 400] in my hand as I type--it looks exactly the same. BTW I find that Foma 120 film does NOT curl anywhere near as much as Efke of Forte--it's almost as flat as Ilford or Kodak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojim Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yup, there are a few sources of Foma film, under Foma brand or under other brand names, and they all look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich815 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks guys. From process of elimination I've found it is Fomapan 400 as I have found a couple of them in the batch of Fomapan 200 I bought (out of their packages, nothing but plain white wrappers. Charles, I did think of that too, and guess what? The leader info is the SAME as the end tape info(!) I developed it using times for Fomapan 400 in D-76 stock and it came out fine. All the edges say though is U L T R A and 4 0 0 and 0 0 3 8.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
