Last night I finished my box of Fomapan 100, so some more film is needed. I loved Fomapan 100 because it was easy and cheap to learn on, and at 60-70 pence per sheet, I could shoot as much as I wanted. I have made a spreadsheet of films and prices at different places, and whilst I'm keen to stay on the cheaper end of the scale for the time being, I would like to try something new, and a bit faster.
I see that Rollei RPX can currently be had for about £26 for a box, meaning it's a bit more expensive than Fomapan 100 but still cheap enough not to have to worry about too much. I can't seem to find much about this film though, so I'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried it in 4x5? If so, what are your thoughts?
Other options are Foamapan 400 but there is a lot of negative comments around the internet, so that's off the list. Foma Retropan 320 is also a possibility and is also dirt cheap, but again, not a lot online apart from comments about it being very soft. This leads me towards RPX but I'm keen to hear about other people's experiences, if there are any.
