Foma Film

Foma Film Fomapan R100 Double Standard 8mm Black & White Reversal Film 10m

SKU CH-BT61-XV660

Black-and-white reversal film for Standard 8mm movie cameras, ISO 100/21° with antihalo layer for sharp transparencies

  • Professional-grade panchromatic film captures stunning black-and-white transparencies
  • Unique spectral sensitization ensures accurate color-to-grayscale tone transfer
  • Efficient antihalo layer enhances resolving power and contour sharpness
  • ISO 100/21° nominal speed when processed in R-100
  • Durable cellulose triacetate or polyester base offers high mechanical resistance

Film Format & Purpose

Fomapan R100 is a Double Standard 8 mm black-and-white reversal film supplied on a 10 m roll. It produces direct transparencies for projection or scanning, making it suited to enthusiasts and professionals who want classic monochrome movie footage.

Loading & Processing Notes

The roll fits standard Double 8 cameras and uses a cellulose triacetate or polyester safety base that resists tearing during loading. Correct exposure relies on the nominal ISO 100/21° rating, which only holds when the film is developed in the dedicated R-100 process; other chemistries will shift the effective speed.

Image Quality Under Extended Use

An efficient antihalo layer positioned between base and emulsion decolorises during processing, preserving high resolving power and contour sharpness throughout the full 10 m length. Unique spectral sensitisation maintains accurate tonal separation in both daylight and artificial light, so contrast and detail remain consistent across long shooting sessions.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Fomapan R100 film is exposing correctly after loading it into my Standard 8mm camera?

Shoot a test roll under known daylight conditions, process it in R-100 chemistry, and check the transparencies for clean highlight detail and the antihalo layer's decolorized clarity at ISO 100/21°.

What comes with the 10m roll and what must I source separately?

The box contains the 10m Double Standard 8mm roll on either cellulose triacetate or polyester base; you must supply a compatible Standard 8mm camera, R-100 reversal processing chemicals, and projection or scanning equipment.

Which base type should I choose for the Fomapan R100 10m roll?

Select the cellulose triacetate safety base for standard handling and splicing, or the polyester base when you need higher mechanical resistance and dimensional stability for repeated projection or archival storage.
