HP5+ or Tri-X Replacement? | FOMAPAN 400 Review
With the same speed, and similar classic grain characteristics and image quality, could FOMAPAN 400 be a suitable replacement for the much revered Ilford HP5+ or Kodak Tri-X films, just at a much lower cost?

Kodak‘s Prices too High?

AGFA APX 100 costs roughly half as much as similar films from Kodak & Ilford and is a very compelling black and white film stock.

A Lot of People Get This Wrong About Kodak TMAX 100
Просмотров 8 тыс.Год назад
I don't think that the hate that TMAX 100 gets from the film community is fair. It's a superb film that renders images with outstanding quality retaining tonnes of detail on the negative. Definitely worth trying in my opinion. Kodak TMAX 100 Purchase Links (affiliate): Amazon (US): amzn.to/3K4ZnmC As an amazon.com associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
The Nikon FM - AS GOOD AS IT GETS

In 1977 Nikon launched the FM series of cameras, and in doing so brought what are in my opinion some of the greatest cameras of all time into the world. It's no secret that the original Nikon FM is my favourite.

A Shrewd Look at Film Photography Today | FILM Ferrania P30 Review
Got mine in and loaded it with TRI-X 400 film. Waiting for a battery and the ring adapter for it. Shooting sunny 16 until then. But wow this is a gorgeous little camera. Lighter and better looking design wise than my Nikon F2 and F3hp.
T-max is a great. I don't understand the T-Max bashing. If you want to bash something, bash the democratic party for banning Fuji Velvia in the US.
Correction. The MX was released with the ME. The ME Super was later in 1980. I remember. I bought one. It was made of polycarbonate and eventually I realised my mistake and bought the all metal MX, then the ME both of which I still have and function perfectly.
Antiquitated? Learned a new word. Not an especially useful one, in comparison to ‘antiquated’, but hey!
They do mean different things though; not sure your use was right😊
I didn’t know I had it wrong. English isn’t my first language so, what can I say… mistakes happen. I guess I just learned something new. Thanks!
I just ordered a Spotmatic SP. in EX condition from KEH for $100. I don’t know the model differences. But I already have the 55mm. 1.8 lens. And I think I might want to buy the 24mm Pentax lens. My camera will arrive this next week. And I am excited to shoot with it.
I noted that in earlier video, Kodak 100, you used a Pentax Spotmatic, with 55/50 mm Takumar lens, which are low contrast! I loved them when I lived in South Africa, Johannesburg is like 2000m.7000ft above sea level.! High UV light, maximum contrast.. I later preferred my Nikkors on Nikon-F.
Rollei RPX 25 is also very clear based. Sharp as a tack.
Are there any considerations when metering? A meter sees all light but if not all of it is being recorded on ortho film, I’m thinking the film might be slightly underexposed when the meter says the exposure is perfect.
" 10 Rolls of Film " has proven that Rollei Retro 80S and Rollei RPX 25 are the same film. Retro 80s is just pushed.
the main reason people didnt like it was because tmax is very sensitive to any variations in processing. people blamed the film rather than admit they were sloppy in the darkroom.
Any ideas how this would do pushed say 1-2 stops?
I have an LX and love it... now I really want a simple, beautiful, MX....... and a second LX as a back up to the first
I love Fomapan action looks just like JCH street pan and I can get it for £5 49 UK so its one of my go to films .
It's crazy to think that RUclips was around 3 years before Kodochrome was discontinued, it would've been great if someone made a video review about it back then.
фомапан 400 сильно скручивается, а так да детализация хорошая.
I had the same eye releif issue too having to look around to get all the info. I got myself a 19mm screw in diopter which replaced my spec when shooting. As a left eye shooter the LEDs on the right are ideal and unlike with the FE everything is always easy to see even in low light.
Is this any different from Spotmatic F?
you make incredible videos. Very high quality video production. Are you editing them all yourself? Either way great work.
Thanks! Yes, I do edit them myself.
so wanted this camera when it came out. still got it although probably not used it for 25-30 years. only downside is if you hold to left eye like i do the cocked lever will stick in your right eye, so you need to hold it at a bit of an angle.
Yeah, I can see how that could be a bit of an issue.
Tri-X in D-76 1:1 for 11 minutes is the bomb.
amazing video and info, thanks a lot. what battery you personally suggest?
I see you rated the Rollei Retro 80S at 40ASA; have you ever used it at box speed and if so what were the results like? Have you developed it in D76 1:1
I’ve used it a Box Speed and at 40 ASA. I liked the ones at 40ASA better. There are samples of both in the Retro 80S video I made. I haven’t developed it in D76 1:1 however.
@@noahvonhatten Thank you for your immediate reply. I saw your review of Foma 100. Which do you prefer?
How does it compare to the Rollei Retro 8OS?
That locking of the shutter for long exposure was available on the Spotmatic F, btw.
Ernie was right about the number 9.
thanks dud3
Went to the original Woodstock 1969 site and went to the museum they had. They happen to had multiple different props and items from the original festival including this exact model of Pentax
I’ve found it better to treat Fomapan 100 at ISO 64 to get the best results
Rollei Retro 80 is (apparently) the same as their RPX-25. Try shooting it at 25 and develop with RPX-25 times on 'The Massive Dev Chart'.
I agree, RPX 25/Retro 80s is great at iso 25. Very high resolution and shadow detail without blowing up the highlights.
If you've shot with Kodachrome before, film simulations on digital cameras will hold zero appeal. Only one is the real thing. Accept no substitutes.
This is mechanical simplicity at its best. You can't remove anything without affecting the MX's functionality, and you can't add anything without making it superfluous. Take the viewfinder information for example. You have just the bare minimum for taking a good picture - a focussing prism, shutter speed, and simple LEDs to confirm exposure. The rest of the screen is kept clear so you can focus on image composition. Compare this to the information clutter you find in the EVF of any modern digital camera. Histograms, face detection emoji and other distracting details that get in the way. I'm lucky I bought my MX when these things were still cheap.
never liked HP5+ - it seems to have low ugly contrast and bad looking grain... Maybe cos I use D-76... For my opinion good old Ilford PAN 400 is much cheaper and much better nad wors as well as 800 or 1600 iso, not only 400)
I find that Ferrania P30 is three times as expansive as Fomapan 100, so I am afraid they will have a tough time trying to survive.
Back in the 90's they made the GREATEST film ever !!!.... Agfa 25 .. slow but long tonal scale and normal contrast ... which then and even now is a bit unusual ... Agfa film has always had incredible tonal range !!!!
Rollei RPX 25 is pretty good, too!
Basically, not just cameras, but almost all merchandise from the 70’s era were all well built (no cut cost or corners or plastic parts)… watches, stereos, automobiles, etc you name it 😂 People moralities as well. People trusted people. Friends last forever; no cheap social medias lies easy come easy go… LOL I think America and the rest of the world are heading to a wrong direction if people don’t wake up sooner
As someone who has collected watches and stereos from the 70s, and only ever owned really old cars, I’m included to agree.
I also have a F2 Photomic (1971), it a new king after the legendary F (1959). 🎉
This is the original (version 1) Nikon FM from 1977 to 1979, I believe. I personally think it’s the best version. There were three versions made all together from 1977 to 1982). The FM and FE (twin brothers or sisters) were primarily targeted at the North American market in 1977 and 1978, respectively, from articles I had read. I prefer the FM over the FM2, FM2n and the FM3A due to its pure manual control springs, levers and gears mechanical shutter camera. 😅
Agree with how great the FM is for sure, but the FM2N is the same quality with better features while maintaining that fully manual experience. I'm sure I'd be happy with an original FM, but I see literally no reason not to just go ahead and use the FM2n.
I’m just collecting old cameras with 100% intention on using every one I get. Got an F3 last week and a FM today. Probably pick a Pentax k1000 and a canon Ae-1 program at some point. I’m really enjoying film right now.
One thing I'd add to the equation is how flat (or not) the film physically is once developed. I'll spend the extra $3 for a roll that keeps me from going crazy trying to scan on a flatbed. I suppose a nice digital camera setup with some sort of film holder negates that issue but if you're needing to use a flatbed beware. I forget which fomapan I tried a few months ago but holy smokes.
I just made a video about Fomapan 400 where I mentioned exactly this. Trying to scan it on a flatbed was a bit of a nightmare. You make a valid point.
Did Wes Anderson co-direct this? 😄
Have you tried comparing the sharpness between your own scans and the lab scans ? A flatbed scanner will not yield the ideal sharpness from a 135 film, which is why you might find it is not as sharp as the other stocks. Just a thought
I did compare the two. I also showed the original lab scans in the video. It’s sharp enough, but not quite up there with HP5+, Tri-X, and the like.
I got an all-black Nikon FM maybe 8 years ago, and I love it. I wonder if it actually has the best build quality of any SLR, but even so it's not very heavy.
Personally HP-5plus is pretty hard to beat, 35mm or 120. Having said that, there are times when I look at my tri-x images and say to myself omg. I shoot both. Honorable mentions Fuji Neopan 400. (Discontinued) Agfapan400. (Discontinued). Bergger Pancro 400. (Always backordered.)
it's also available as Super8 😉
Right! Thanks for point it out!
