I just loaded up 100' of Fomapan 100 in the form of Arista EDU 100. I've only ever shot a couple rolls before, but I quite liked it. The images you've shot with it also speak to its strengths.
I’m sure you already know, but shoot it at ISO 50. Rating it at 100 gives me super thin negs, in fact they look underexposed by about 1 stop!

Yupyup. But thank you for the reminder. I set my meter to 50 and expose for the shadows. I think Foma do themselves a disservice by rating their films the way they do.

There’s a ‘u’ in ‘something’? I never knew that. Looks like the US cultural influence must be even more pervasive than I thought ….
I was going to say I knew him in Uni, but then @_jim_ would expect me to drop the 'u' so it would have been "I knew him in ni" which would just be confusing unless you were a knight of the order of Ni.

Harman shoots themselves in the foot the same way with their claimed rating of 200 for Phoenix. At 200 it is murky, grainy etc. Basically underexposed. At 100 it looks just fine.

Galen Rowell has a noted ascent of Seven Gables and sometimes used a Nikon FM2. That's about as close I'll probably get. 😅

You just have to be in the right time at the right place
Spent four nights at this State Park, so I had plenty of chances to catch some decent light. This was an hour or so before sunset, with partial clouds providing variable shadows.
