Retropan 320 ‘Soft’

Trying a new film - Foma Retropan 320 Soft.  Foma is made in the Czech Republic.  They have formulated the film to have a soft look.  Grain is noticeable and to me it gives a glow to objects similar to Infra Red film.  I wanted to try this film but couldn’t single rolls but I found 100ft at B and H so that’s what I did.  They recommend using their proprietary Retropan Special developer which I used on the 2nd roll.  I rated it at 400 cuz it’s easier to set some cameras to 400.  I stretched the developing time to 6 min instead of the 4-5 min.

It won’t be my go to film but it has a certain look that can be appealing.
