Foma Fomapan Classic 100 Overview

Fomapan 100 Classic is a panchromatic black-and-white negative film designed for taking photographs. This item contains 50 sheets of 8 x 10" black-and-white negative film. It meets high requirements for low granularity, high resolving power and contour sharpness, and a wide range of halftones. Fomapan 100 Classic has a nominal speed rating of ISO 100/21°, but due to its wide exposure latitude, the film gives good results even when overexposed by 1 EV (exposure value) (as ISO 50/18°) or underexposed by 2 EV (as ISO 400/27°) without any change in processing.

Panchromatic black-and-white negative film designed for taking photographs.
To make prints or enlargements, Extrabrom- and Fomaspeed-type enlarging papers are recommended. However, all sorts of black-and-white enlargement papers can be used.

Foma Fomapan Classic 100 Reviews

Very nice film

By Tim
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-07-23

After a twenty year break I returned to shooting film. I was surprised at seeing the price of my old standard film so gave Foma a try and have been very happy with the results. I shoot with Speedotron and calculate bellows factor with the little square and ruler. It’s very accurate and easy and avoids getting thin negatives. I tray develop ten sheets at a time with Ilfosol 3 diluted 1:14. I start with a two minute water bath before the developer and then agitate moving the bottom sheet to the top for 30 seconds out of every minute. I did 20 seconds but wanted more contrast. I keep the film emulsion side down and it eliminates scratching. Stop bath, hardening fix, Permawash, wash and wetting agent and I get very nice negatives. I see no difference between Foma and more expensive films.

Good Value

I bought this sort of for practice, while getting back into 4x5 after being out 15 years. I'm pretty happy with the results. It's fairly fine grained, depending on your developer. TMAX 100 is still probably slightly better, but Fomapan 100 is close. Feeling a fresh 50 stack of film sheets out of the box is delightful. I take an extra shot with Fomapan any time I shoot color slide film, like Provia.

question

How can this be considered a paper for C-41 processing?
Asked by: Michael
These are sheets of black and white film negatives, suitable for large format 4x5 technical cameras. This is not paper for c-41 processing.
