Foma Fomapan Classic 100

This is some Foma black and white film that is lower priced for those on a budget, like me. But it's good film, so I like it.

Another foreign film, (to me), that I like to use. Foma has been in business since 1921.

Foma has been in business since 1921 making black and white film and film materials. This Fomapan Classic 100 is my favorite film made by them.

This bell originally was used at the first Methodist church in Illinois, but when that church was torn down, it was moved about a mile into town to the Methodist church there.

Another test shot taken with the Konica Autoreflex TC. This one is so grainy, it's awful. But, I left in some of the surrounding unexposed area of the negative to just make it more interesting to look at.

Another grainy, crappy shot from the first roll of Fomapan Classic I ran through my Konica Autoreflex TC SLR. But the film wasn't at fault - the graininess was caused because some of the negatives, all the shots I took outdoors, were overexposed by snow and bright sunlight and to get the scanner to see them, I had to really adjust it. Doing so picked up all the grain. Most of these shots turned out terrible like this, but they begin to grow on me a little....

This is the bell that used to hang in the first Methodist Church ever built in Illinois. It was called Ebenezer Methodist Church and was organized on October 16th, 1838. In the 1980's, the old church was raized and the bell was moved here, to the Methodist Church in town.
