Review: FomaPan Classic 100

Your blogger in chief picked up a roll of Foma B&W film, FomaPan 100 Classic.  This film cost less than $5 a 36 exposure roll in 35mm format and is DX coded.  A sample photo (below) taken from the roll was shot with a Deep Yellow Y15 filter in the afternoon.

The film lays flat with very little curl, making it easy to scan.  Being a traditional emulsion, there is some grain, though not much.  Tonality is good, and there is some latitude available when shooting in shadow.  The image shown could be adjusted to obtain just a bit more detail in the near shadow area.  Something in the workflow is doing autolevels, but it seems to work fairly well for the most part.  Image is unretouched but for autolevels, cropping scanner edges away and sharpening.
