If this film is rebranded Foma 100, then shoot it at EI50, develop accordingly, and you'll get much smoother tonality with greater shadow detail.
I tend to rate it at 80 in XTOL or DD-X and 64 in anything else.
Alan Huntley I’ll keep that in mind for the next one!
I shoot it at 50 too on sunny days. On grey days I can get away with 100, but Spanish sun would make printing in the darkroom a little too challenging for sure!
Yes please, a video on Kosmo 35mm will be much appreciated.
Great work. I like the compositions in many of your photos - the ones with missed focus in particular...
Love the foliage shot at 4:05! Contrast of this stock looks really nice. Sweet stuff Matt!
Yes! Always love the authenticity and owning the misses. Some great shots in there. I really want to run a roll of this through the M6. Boom!
In 6:17 doesn't bother at all that it is slightly out of focus. It's still a great photo. Love the composition and his attitude in the pic. That's a nice film too. Last thing: 55mm in 6x4.5 is a very nice focal length.
Always enjoyed my 645N more than any other camera (after 54 years as a photographer, that is saying something) Shot Fujichrome and the results were incredible. Shot many weddings with it and landscapes. Owned most all lenses available for the camera at the time. Have owned many DSLRs and mirrorless and haven't found a more enjoyable camera. Sorry I got rid of it.
The dynamic range on this film is crazy! It gives you so much more information to work on. It is especially more busy on medium format. I have shot a couple of Foma based ORWO film and the grey tones are just lovely! My favorite pic of the roll has to be the 6:25 , It has a vibe of a Tom Sawyer illustration on a book I read when little.
Just developed my first roll of Kosmo Foto in my Pentax 645n and am very happy with the results. Saw this video after and was pleasantly surprised that you’d done the same film and camera combo. Thanks for all your great videos.
S0, if I’ve heard you correctly Kosmo Foto Mono 100 is rebranded Fomapan 100. My advice would be buy the Fomapan, which is around 40% less expensive than the Kosmo Foto unless you really like the colorful box! A couple of really nice shots in there btw.
Just shot my first roll of Foma 100. So glad it gets some good results. At least in Kosmo form.
I definitely want to try this film for family portraits! Thanks for the inspiration 😊
I'm working on my first roll of this film. Super stoked to see how it turns out.
I really dig the one with the lines in the vertical mulberry street. Great way of making your eye zig-zag through the scene.
great tonality, with a little extra punch compared to the trusty hp5, will defo be giving it a go!
If it'd rebranded Fomapan, there's no use in buying it instead of fomapan. At least here in France, fomapan is cheaper ._.
Really love the vibes of these.
Fomapan 100 is my go to film when i want something cheap and reliable to get out and shoot in 120 format.
+1 for the 35mm portraits video! I enjoyed this vid a lot.
Love this review! I just picked up some of this film and am about to shoot my first roll. Stoked to see that you had reviewed and offer some thoughts beforehand!
I was just about to pick some of this film up for the first time! Would love to see you try out 35mm on some portraits
That Pentax is really appealing to me. I'll be saving up for one of those.
And of course, the film looks very very fine.
Thanks for posting this today - I’ve got a roll of 35 in my Canon Rebel Ti right now. Super helpful
I got the 45 & 75mm lenses included with my 645NII that I bought from Japan. Currently putting them both thru their paces with various Rollei stocks & Delta 3200 as we're heading into the dark part of winter. A little harder to get out here right now as my suburb is currently under lockdown for another 3 weeks, but I'm trying to get out every day for my exercise. That is allowed. Will definitely be taking my 645 out with me, as my C330f played up on me with my last roll & may need to be looked at by a technician. Bummer dude...
I absolutely love the look of this film, got some fomopan 100 in 35mm to try out and fomapan 200 in 120 to try
Great looking film and share!! thank you Matt!
YES PLS for the portraits!
I am a big fan of using 100 speed for portraits
Definitely down for a 35mm video with this film! Really enjoyed this one Matt, keep it up
Love the contrast, but seemed a little grainy for a 100 speed film in medium format. Definitely would like to see it in 35mm to compare. Great video!
I really like the photo at 2:40 and the scene at 4:50, I also like more the portrait orientation.
That's a good idea of taking the photo of the closed shop for the owner, I think he will like it a lot.
I love a good looking punchy film. Madhappy, such a dope hat.
Gonna def pick some up! Thanks Matt!
The tones in that last portrait were fantastic.
Would definitely love to see a video on the 35mm kosmo film stock. I've been curious about it for a while. I'm definitely going to pick some up.
Been meaning to try this for a while now. And yes to 35mm Portraits!
I'm really into contrasty 35mm film right now, about to shoot some Rollei Superpan, so I would watch a followup.
I just finished a roll of this film in 135. I like it, and it seems to be pretty forgiving if you get distracted and miss your time marks while developing (oops). Thanks for the video.
This film looks great, would love to see it in 35mm!
I’d love to see your shoot some acros ii for portraits on medium format. I love that film for landscapes but haven’t gotten to shoot any portraits with it yet
You should try some rollei film. I think it’s the best B&W film available right now
Nice colorful box :) pics are awesome too
I used it in 135 and I liked the deep blacks in it as well (exposed @100 developed in D76 stock), but I‘d choose genuine Foma 100 next time.
I dont quite understand why you'd buy a repackaged film stock when the original brand still makes that film.
To make some money for yourself? 🤷🏻♂️
handwriting To be honest, I don’t know. My assumption would be to make it more affordable internationally, but that’s a total guess.
Got a roll of this in 35mm in the fridge so would absolutely love to see another video!
35mm Fomapan is pretty great, ive been shooting it exclusively ad my Bnw film. Its got a good pricepoint and is pretty capable
Definitely interested in seeing it in 35mm. Love the contrast. HP5 is still king though
Nice video, thanks. Did you ever get around to doing the 35mm video? I'd like to see that especiall yto check the grain out.
Would love to see it for portraits in 35
I love Kosmo Foto. Its one of my favorites for sure.
I love where I live now... don't get me wrong. But I miss Ohio some days. Thanks for the videos Matt.
Wow Matt, I believe this is my fav roll that you have shot. The composition in the first photo is stunning. Isn't this your best 120 Camera-Lens-Film convo?
Simply buy Foma, cheaper and is the same. When they actually pay to modify he recipe, then I would be interested in trying it. Or to be brutal, why pay more for a rebadged film? Would you buy GM car rebadged as a Lamborghini when it costs a lot more than the same GM car?
Fomapan is such a great stock! But always make sure to overexposed by at least one stop, you’ll get way better results this way :) (better is relative of course)
Foma 400 is actually 250 and Foma 200 is more like 160. Foma 100 works well when exposed at 100
Seems similar to JCH Streetpan 400. How would you compare it to that film?
Nice video matt
This film looks very interesting. I wonder how it would handle pushing considering the dynamic range seems to be pretty decent
Hi Sam, it's very pushable. Friends of mine have pushed it up to 1600.
some interesting photos, I love the one of the church and the sign!
Shoot kosmo foto with the fm2!!
I would love to see one of yours Matt. A full roll (contact sheet). It’s quite insightful to see how other photographers work. My interest would be for your personal work if you can share. I’m curious how you shoot your family.
Gabriel Aszalos I don’t have the means to physically make a contact sheet since I don’t have my darkroom anymore, but I would be happy to share an entire roll of some family moments and talk through my thought process from frame to frame!
@@mattdayphoto I would love that
I always shoot fomapan foma 100 at 200, really like the results I get then
Nice. So the best option is buying the original Foma 100? Right? Is the same film
How did you meter this film Matt? Just a general centre-weighted or did you spot meter on something specific like the shadows? Thanks for the video. This film stock looks pretty nice man. 👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Michael Krilic Metered with the built in meter on the 645n with the average meter reading.
Good to see you miss focus, haha. Makes me feel a little better about when I do it.
Andrew Persing Happens to all of us. Haha.
I like to develop this film as a reversal film,the result was impressive.
Great video as always
Can't find it on b&h. What's the closest film to kosmo mono in terms of tonality?
I thought it had never been confirmed it was Foma 100, only that it was produced by an established firm, believed to be Foma?
What do you get from shooting the Kosmo Foto Mono 100 that you don't get from just shooting Fomapan 100? Other than the packaging, and being a bit more expensive, why bother with the re-branded Kosmo Foto film?
Cobblers it seems are no longer needed world wide 😳
I think the shoe shop shot is ok maybe do it again and polarise the window reflection out ?
Stuart Baines Gonna revisit it with color, as long as the sign hasn’t already been removed.
Hi Matt, how are you liking the Pentax645n?
Jacky It’s great! Super fun to shoot and amazing lenses. That being said, I sold it. Haha. Really only shooting with my Leica these days.
@@mattdayphoto Aww that's too bad! Excited to see more videos on your switch to Leica. Happy shooting , Matt!
does every downtown area across the midwest have a seemingly abandoned shoe repair business?
Where can you pick this stuff up?
Noob question, why couldn’t re-shoot the roll that you shot in the Fuji with the shutter not working? In the end the film wasn’t exposed so you could just rewind it. I feel like I’m probably missing something here...
*couldn’t you
Lorenzo Pierpaoli I may have been able to salvage the roll if I re-wound the film again, but it’s pretty tricky to do and leaves room for light leaks and scratches on the film handling it by hand like that. If it were 35mm, it would be much easier since it’s all contained in a cartridge. With 120 film being wrapped in a paper backing, the film isn’t taped down on both sides. So as it unwinds, it’s tough to roll it back up without physically touching the film. Just wasn’t worth the headache and potential of messing up the film.
Matt Day thank you very much for your answer, I’m learning so much from your channel!
ngl Matt's looking sharper and sharper these days
Jeric You just made my day. Haha.
@@mattdayphoto you are welcome King
Why buy this and not just foma if its the same thing?
Dat Pentax though
As you said, this is Foma 100 film in a prettier package.. so why pay double or even more, depending on where you live, to shoot this film, when you can buy the original Foma stock? I know, someone will say "to support film community", well, you support film community buying film from emulsion manufactures, not from package designers with a neck for marketing.
wait if this is just Foma then why would I pay $9 for it
Matt, I’d love to know with developer and scanner the lab use.
And comments about the lens you use.
Best regards.
He sends all his stuff to TheDarkroom
Cícero Lima It was developed in Ilfotec DD-X and scanned on a Noritsu.
Izzy Valle yew, I know. But don’t know which developer or scanner they use.
Matt Day thanks Matt. 🙏🏻
need that hat lol
I personally try to avoid Foma's 120 films because it's difficult to make them lay flat in the scanner film holder. Ilford films are much easier to work with.
what kinda hat is that ?
What developer did you use?
Coldoikz1 It was developed at The Darkroom, developed in Ilfotec DD-X and scanned on a Noritsu.
@@mattdayphoto Thanks for the fast answer.
Hey Matt, sent you an email! Check your spam if it didn't come through..Great video as always :)
Foma 100 and 200 are great, but Foma 400 is just dull garbage.
First.
