Dawid,

Thanks for the post.  I really like the feather on the water, and agree
about the great mid-tone separation.  The base of the feather looks a bit
soft to me, but maybe that was what you were going for.  You don't mention
what shutter speed you used, but I can imagine it was on the slower slide
due to the morning light and iso 64.  Fantastic results for hand held in my
book, and a very nice shot by all accounts.

I've read elsewhere that 35mm Fomapan is one of the flattest drying films
around, while the 120 version is the curliest.  Also echoing Chris, the
general consensus seems to be that Foma 100 is a kinder, gentler animal than
Foma 400.  Your results do tempt me, but I'm going to pass on trying it for
now.  I want to make sure, as much as my small budget can, that Ilford and
Kodak keep making b&w films, so that is where my money is going.

Looking forward to seeing the results from the rest of the roll.

Paul C.
