Foma 100 5 x 4 film problem

Post by numnutz » Mon Aug 24, 2009 10:33 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

Hi - sometime last year I purchased a box of 50 sheets of Fomapan 100. Inside the box was two separate plastic envelopes containing the film 25 sheets in each. I have just finished using the first envelope (with some satisfaction of the product) so started on the second envelope. When loading the first sheet however I noticed that the film notches were different. The first envelope were all a single rounded notch - the second envelope had a rounded notch plus a vee shaped notch. I haven't had an opportunity to test the film as yet but can anyone tell me if this is normal, or if not, what film will I be using for the final 25 sheets.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions

I use both Foma 100 and 200 in sheets (4x5" and 8x10"): always the (same) round notch.
