That mark on the footpath sign image looks like a drying mark rather than a scratch. I do use Foma 400 as it is so reasonably priced but the quality seems to vary from batch to batch. Add Kodak DoubleX to your trials, it has a very good exposure latitude. I use it at ISO 250 to 1600 with very little image change. Best at 250 though.
Hmm I will investigate this. However, I now have a better audio solution so I'm future video (I have things planned 6 weeks ahead) things should be better
i think fomapan must be over developed, especially 400. 400 is really better if developed at 800...100 and 200 are good, but 400 is really too soft for my taste if developed at 400...I am a rodinal user...
