Fomapan 400 – 120 Black & White Film

Fomapan 400 is a classic, general-purpose black and white film with a traditional character and a flexible ISO 400 speed. Manufactured in the Czech Republic, it delivers a distinctly vintage aesthetic with medium contrast, visible grain, and a tonality reminiscent of mid-20th-century emulsions—making it ideal for street, documentary, or artistic work in variable lighting conditions.

One of Fomapan 400’s key strengths is its wide exposure latitude. It handles both overexposure and underexposure well, giving beginners more room to experiment and experienced photographers more options when metering in difficult light. This forgiving nature makes it a highly recommended “benchmark” film—perfect for mastering black and white shooting techniques and learning the effects of exposure and development over time.

Its ISO 400 speed provides excellent versatility across daylight, low-light, and indoor environments, while the film responds well to push and pull processing for added creative control.
