I don't know how many people here use Forte films (esp. Fortepan 100), but I realized that it's looked upon & ignored by many..just because it's grainy. I have found that this film renderes unparalled tonality. I'm talking about the 120 which seems to have a different curve than the 35mm. I develop in DK-50(1:1). The film is grainier than TX but the gradation is beautiful & antique. I tried it in Xtol straight but with not as good separation. So far I have used it for studio work. Try it!

I use Forte 100 sheet fiulm developed in pyro. It is a fantastic combination with an incredibly straight curve. Highly recommended.

Some of my favorite photos were made with Forte 400 135. Tonality is very nice. A local camera shop was practically giving it away.
