Summary:
I just developed my first roll of Fortepan 400 120 film. I shot it with my HOLGA. My negatives turned out perfect... excellent contrast and very fine grain. I'll definitely be using this film regularly from now on. One thing that I found to be strange about this film was that there were no markings on the outer edge [with name of film, etc]. I guess this can be seen as a pro or con depending on your personal preference.

Strengths:
Very fine grain, nice contrast, easy to develop, easy to load.

Weaknesses:
NONE

Summary:
It's good film for the price. I recommend this to beginners or for those who won't be doing any big enlargements.

Strengths:
Good contrast and it's pretty grainless.

Weaknesses:
Packing and marking - the film has no box and no exact frame marks.

Summary:
Really cheap film with better than decent results. If you are a TMAX fan, this is not the film for you, but if you shoot Agfa, then it's a great substitute. Develop in ID-11 for better results than in D-76 (I've only tried those two comobinaitons). Pushes to 800 with no major loss of quality.

Strengths:
good contrast, tone rendering, exposure latitude, price!

Weaknesses:
grain is not as tight as Delta 400 that I use normally, availibility in canada
