I must have shot so few B&W films that I barely remember doing so.
I’m terribly drawn to color film and have been less so to B&W.
I was looking on the net at a bunch of photos taken with various films to try to see what appealed to me.
I did look more 400 iso rolls than other iso values since I find generally 400 to be quite handy with ND filters. I still searched more broadly than just 400 just to have a sense of what I could miss with other isos.
Fomopan 400 did get my attention, I believe I prefer what I saw from that emulsion, I dig the levels of contrast(not to high but not washy either), the grain and the values in the greys that feel quite luminous.
What’s your take on Fomopan 400, is it a good starter?
