− Availability varies

Retropan 320 is Foma's most unusual film — a rare ISO 320 speed (the only other B&W film at 320 is Kodak Tri-X sheet film) and a deliberately soft, retro look. Foma even developed a dedicated developer, the Retro Special Developer, to amplify the vintage look. The emulsion is particularly well suited to contact prints and retro-style enlargements.
