Independent tests have been less generous, particularly with Action 400, where two stops under left very little shadow detail. Rate all three at or below box speed and you will rarely regret it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatch the Long Exposures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreative 200 needs extra exposure sooner than you might expect.

It is inexpensive, reasonably forgiving and develops in any standard black and white chemistry, which makes it a sensible first film for home developing. The catch is that it rewards generous exposure, so metering at box speed in poor light tends to give thin negatives. Rate it a little slower than the box says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the difference between Fomapan 100, 200 and 400?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeed and grain, mainly. Classic 100 gives the most detail in good light, Action 400 trades some of that for speed in poor light, and Creative 200 sits between them on a different, tabular grain structure. All three share the same base and the same development chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e Photographers new to Fomapan who want to try the whole range before settling on one, anyone building a home developing habit on an affordable film, and people shooting a mix of bright days and grey ones in the same week.

The films are not flawless, and they want more light than the box admits. But shooting all three side by side will teach you more about how film speed shapes a black and white negative than most photography books manage.
