Svema/Astrum's Foto line is their consumer photographic range. Foto 100 is probably the best-selling Svema film in Europe thanks to its rebadged incarnations — both Kosmo Foto Mono 100 and FPP Derev Pan 100 use this emulsion. Its polyester base sets it technically apart from all Western films on acetate.
