Fomapan R100 in 120

Mirko, ich habe grade mit Erstaunen entdeckt, dass der R100 nicht als Rollfilm erhältlich ist (auch die Spec-Sheet bestätigt das). Steht eine 120er Version...

Mirko, I’ve just discovered to my surprise that the R100 isn’t available as roll film (the spec sheet confirms this too). Is a 120 version even on the cards, or is the market too small, or are there technical difficulties standing in the way? To everyone: ;-) Has anyone here ever run a Scala through the Foma kit? My experiments with the modified E6 (TTE6 kit, sepia toner as a reversal bath instead of the CD) have somehow given me a taste for it. Somehow. <g>

Hi Roman, You mean the 100 ISO reversal film, right? Foma won’t be producing that. Roll film is coated on a different base to 35mm film, so you can’t simply cut up another roll of film; you’d have to coat a completely new roll. But there isn’t a market for that. Why not give the Efke 100 a go? It’s also on a clear base and can be reverse-processed into transparency film using the Foma or Kodak kit. Compared to the Foma, it does have slightly larger grain – but it has a wider grey scale, has a higher speed of 100 ISO and has better sharpness. Best regards, Mirko

Mirko,

Yep.

Foma won’t be producing that. Roll film is cast on a different base to 35mm film, so you can’t simply cut a different film; you’d have to cast a completely new film.

I realise that... the two-sided coating process alone is complex. But the market doesn’t offer that. [/QUOTE] ... yet. Things could look different again tomorrow.

Why not give the Efke 100 a go? It’s also on a clear base and can be reversal-processed into transparency using the Foma or Kodak kit.

I’ll give it a go. And run a Scala through as well.

Regards, Mirko

Thanks, Roman -you go to such lengths with the quoting... ;->-

You've got the opening and closing tags mixed up when quoting... always

. If a closing tag is missing or an opening tag is incorrect, everything goes wrong....

mift: Of course it worked this time, and you can't see the syntax :lol: [quote] text [/quote] ;)

I'm a bit old-fashioned in that respect and use the buttons at the top of the header. That works

quite well

once you’ve got used to the fact that the old Natrape 4 keeps jumping back to the start of the post. :-) Franz, proud as punch today :-)
