help Fomapan 200 Creative FAQ
Who makes Fomapan 200 Creative, and where is it produced?
It is manufactured by Foma Bohemia, a Czech company based in Hradec Králové that has made photographic materials since 1921. It is one of the last European-produced traditional black-and-white films still in regular production.
Can Fomapan 200 be pushed to ISO 400?
Yes, it is commonly pushed one stop to 400 with good results, and many shooters push it further. It develops in standard black-and-white chemistry such as Kodak D-76 or Ilford ID-11.
What formats does Fomapan 200 Creative come in?
It is sold in 35mm cassettes as well as 120 medium format rolls. That format range, plus a low price compared with Ilford and Kodak equivalents, has made it a staple budget choice.
How does Fomapan 200 compare with Ilford or Kodak black-and-white films?
It has a classic, somewhat pronounced grain structure rather than the modern tabular grain of something like Kodak T-Max 400. Many photographers choose it over Ilford HP5 Plus for a cheaper, more old-fashioned rendering.
