I thought I was seeing the grain on the smaller picture but that must be some grain alaising effect. Mine was purchased in Slovakia and developed here in D-76 1:1. I can't say much about sharpness since all of mine was shot in one day while it was raining. The Foma 400 that I ordered from Europe has been fairly consistent, but I would not consider that to be a fine grain film. Interesting tho. I agree with the other poster that the 200 holds a lot of promise. Mike D Dizel wrote: >>Stan, what are you developing your Foma in?
