I've shot it as well. I'd say it's almost certainly rebadged Foma, based on my experience with it.

Heh, looks like that Lomo has a meniscus lens. It has that "old Kodak" look.

I was gifted 5 rolls. The last one is in the freezer. Honestly, I would not buy considering I can get Fomapan 100 locally. What it did do for me is to appreciate it enough that Fomapan 100 might replace Ilford FP4+ as my 100 speed BW film.

Is FP4+ comparable to TMax?

I always thought of FP4 as Plus-X tones and almost T-max resolution...

Maybe that was how I developed it...

Delta 100 and Delta 400 are more similar to TMAX 100 and 400. FP4 and HP5 are more traditional grains like plus-x and tri-x.

I'm not sure what happened in the scan/dev/camera, but the flatness of this negative looks pretty old school cool. This is literally straight out of the scanner, scanned with my PrimeFilm 7250 Pro3 and Silverfast 8. The rest of the roll has normal expected contrast for HP5+ @ 400ISO.

K1000 w/M50 1:1.7 on HP5+

Looks overexposed by a stop or two, you've got really good shadow detail with nearly blown highlights. Probably fixable in post

I agree -- unless the highlights are completely blown. No fix for that.

100TMX is a tabular grain film and FP4+ is a cubic grain. They will have different characteristics.

You have to adjust the contrast curve when converting film to digital. Your scanning software has a default slope of the contrast curve but you should adjust that for sunny vs overcast day, etc.

There's a lot of leeway in film for blown highlights, especially in B&W film. If you need to rescan with custom settings, so be it.
