Processing Foma Fomapan Reversal Black & White Film UK
« on: April 06, 2021, 09:30:06 PM »
Hey gang!

I recently purchased some of this film (working on a collaboration with a film maker who likes slide, I'd never worked with b/w slide film).

Link here: https://www.morco.uk.com/black-white-film/foma-fomapan-reversal-film.html

I dropped it in at my local lab, they can't process it. I sent it up to Peak Imaging who do all my 4x5" stuff, they said they can't do it.

The film maker recommended this place https://ntphotoworks.com/ they have just messaged me back to say they don't do it but they recommend somewhere in Germany. I really don't want to send it out of the UK (especially after our leaving the EU).

Anyone have any tips for a lab that might do it in the UK?

I regret buying the film now.
Everything should be tried once except incest and folk dancing.

Should be fairly easy to process at home with the proper chems. A tank and a darkbag are not that expensive and are definitely worth the trouble when it comes to weird stuff like that.

The Foma kit looks to be good value at £32 (plus p&p) to process 8 films...though mounts might be needed too...SilverPan seem to be offering the b/w reversal for £14 plus £5 for mounting, but currently have this service as 'sold out'.

You could possibly develop as a negative. This thread has info.

I think I might reshoot the film.
