Freestyle Lowers the Price of Foma Variant III VC FB Paper

I am not familiar with the range of Foma’s black and white papers; I only use one – Variant III VC FB … and only one size – 8×10. I have also used what most believe is its rebranded sibling, Arista EDU Ultra and I have been hard pressed to see any significant differences in the two papers. That having been said, it was time to order more paper for what I hope will be a good amount of time spent in the darkroom time between Christmas and New Year’s Day.  I noticed that Freestyle Photographic, Foma’s US importer, has lowered the price of a 100 sheet 8×10 box of Variant III VC FB from $126.95 to $99.95. Many of you may be aware of this, if not this is a sizeable savings! The person I spoke to on the phone said that this has been the price since the beginning of 2018. That is the same price as Arista EDU Ultra, both at Freestyle and B&H! Note, however that Freestyle does charge for shipping and B&H does not.

I know this isn’t in the same category as world peace but it is interesting, and who knows how long this price will last – Freestyle would not say. As readers know, I love this paper.  Suffice to say, I just order 300 sheets of the Foma!
