Fomapan 400 Action 100ft Roll
Foma Fomapan 400 Action is a 35mm black-and-white negative film supplied as a 100ft bulk roll. It is panchromatically sensitised for broad light-spectrum capture and rated at ISO 400/27deg for low-light work. Low granularity and high resolving power deliver sharp detail across the frame.
Suits darkroom users loading their own cassettes
Photographers who bulk-load 35mm cassettes for extended shooting sessions will benefit from the long roll and wide exposure latitude. The film tolerates overexposure by 1 EV at ISO 200/24deg or underexposure by 2 EV at ISO 1600/33deg without altered processing. Shooters needing only a few frames or lacking bulk-loading equipment should choose pre-loaded cartridges instead.
ISO 400/27deg nominal speed
The single specification that decides fit is the nominal speed rating of ISO 400/27deg. This sensitivity governs the shutter-speed and aperture combinations available in dim conditions and defines the baseline for the stated latitude range. Match this speed to your lighting needs and metering practice before purchasing.
