anyone here use efke film?

I use ADOX CHS 25 (same film as Efke 25 - different name) quite a bit, both in 35mm and 120. I've tried it in Rodinal, which was ok, but much prefer it in Neofin Blue (or Blau in most territories) - stock solution for 8 minutes with two inversions per minute. This combo has much better contrast and grain than in Rodinal.

I like Efke, and I allmost live at the home of Efke. Usually I use efke developers and papers. However, i found a GREAT difference between 35 mm and 120 quality. Seems to me they do not share tha same emulsion at all. KB (35 mm) is OK in 25 and 50 ASA, not so great in 100, and disappointing in 400. The R (120) is a completely different story, pleasant grain, good tonal range, absolutely great. That is in its own price range. By no means competition to Ilford, Ilford is far superior. But, the price is also a factor, in my part of the world a roll of Efke 120 costs about 5 US$, Ilford comes up to 9 US$.
