Which 120 b&w film for slides?

Hello,

I already use Fomapan R 100 together with the Foma slide development kit to produce b&w slides at 35 mm film.

Now I would also like to try b&w slides at medium format.
Do you have any suggestions for a good medium format b&w film for this purpose (Fomapan R 100 is only available at 35 mm)?

I would like to use a film with the following characteristics:

- ISO between 100 and 400
- clear film base
- small grain

Best Regards,
Thoms

Hello Thomas
I see you are in Germany so lucky for you Photostudio13 do B&W reversal for many films mainly Rollei branded like 80s, 400s and Superpan 200. I tried a roll of Superpan 200 with them and it came out well. Prices are very reasonable. Contact them, photostudio13.de, for film options and details as you need to rate the film at a certain ISO for best results. I think Superpan 200 rate at @125. However, I looked at Maco this week to buy some and see there is no 120 stock of this film.

I have recently been experimenting with my own reversal processing but it requires lots of work with each film to get it right. I've only tried so far with Foma 100 because it is cheap.

Wow, did not know this was even possible. Thanks for bringing it under my radar, if only to know it exists

+1 for DR5. I tried Efke25 as well as 100Delta @64 with very good results.
