Yes, Ive used it and it's an excellent film. It's slow - as you already know - but gives a contrasty negative that's as sharp as your lens allows. A nice thing I've found is that it is a flat film and easy to load into my scanner. I pre-soak it for one minute in water before I pour in the developer. That's to soften the coating they put on it at the factory. Some people claim that without pre-soaking the coating doesn't dissolve completely. I've always pre-soaked and haven't had a problem.
The attached picture was taken with a Bessa-T and Summarit lens at f/4 on EFKE-25 developed in Rodinal 1:25 at 68 degrees F (20 degrees C) for 4 minutes.

Mike, it's a very nice film. My friends who do a lot of medium format swear by it. I haven't used it that much (except in summer, for obvious reasons), but the results were excellent.

It is an excellent film. I develop it in Rodinal 1+100 for 10 minutes to tame the ocontrast a little.
Extremely sharp, and grainless
