Yes EFKE 25 is beautiful, even though its red sensitivity is kinda low.
Rodinal 1+100 worked for me as well
I'll use a lot of that next week to copy a bunch of pictures I recovered from my grammas house

I keep telling myself to get some, and I will yet. I want it in 120 and 4x5 if not 35mm. I used some of that 25-30 years ago and really liked it. If I recall, I bought if from Freestyle when they used to advertise in Modern Photography. That stuff was great in 35mm, and in 120 ... wow.

in the US JandC carry it, I thinkg it will change its name to ADOX pretty soon.
Steph: yes it is available on most sheet sizes.... I have only used it in 35mm though

Imagine it in 4x5...or 8x10...or 11x14...

I haven't seen the 25 and 50 in anything else than 35 and 120. But the efke 100 is available in everything, even 127-format.

It looks like the 25 is available in 5x7 (nice) 8x10 and 11x14.
I aim to use a combination of PL25, Fomapan 200, and J&C 400 to cover my film speeds. I might try either the PL100 or the Fomapan 100 instead of the 200 (which I shoot at 125 anyway in Rodinal 1+50...), but I got about 30 sheets left of the T200.
One thing to remember is that it's not always wise to use the slowest possible speed with LF. Those cameras can really move in the wind, and at f45 that's one long shutter speed.

Here are a few more Efke 25 samples. The first three are shot on my R3A + Nokton 40 S.C.; the musicians are shot on the R3A + 1961 Jupiter-8. The roll was developed in Rodinal 1+100.
I love the results, but this isn't an easy film to use! On a bright day in light shadow I was shooting wide open at 1/30.

Nice pictures, the musician seem overexposed? or is it just me
I agree, needing a tripod is a RPITA but for tripod photography thi siflm is awesome.

Nice pictures. Are the trees green? Is this how they will look?

The musicians look pretty good on my monitors at work and home althought I'd be curious to know if other people find them overexposed.
The trees were definitely green, so I was surprised by how they came out. Other foliage seems to come out more normal, though. The film must have some interesting sensitivities in the green wavelengths.

When someone says that Efke is a curly film, they mean it! I'm drying some of the Efke 100 127 film I got for use in the Falcon Miniature (which I got and shot this roll with, by the way) and the film is curling like mad. I put two of my unweighted clips on the end to hold it...one didn't quite do it.

Yes, it curles while it dries, but becomes flat later in the binder. But then, I dry my film in the scanner

All of the thin emulsion films are curly - efke and forte, notably. However, if you are drying in a humid environment, they shouldn't be too bad when they come out. I run my water distiller when I'm developing so there is a good amount of moisture in the air by the time I'm ready to dry.
Gotta shoot some R25 this weekend...

That's it, I'm ordering a bulk roll of this stuff. Two rolls and I'm convinced, it's got the look. I might buy a box of 4x5" while I'm at it!
Gordy, if you're reading this: is that kodak Brownie box camera in the 1st pic the one you were telling me to seek out?
On second thought, I don't know what would really be gained by shooting this stuff in sheets, even my normal diet of tri-x looks fine-grained when I enlarge from 4x5.
These shots in rodinal 1:50.

I have a box of 4x5 Efke 25 that has been sitting in the the fridge for some months now -- no darkroom (yet.) But I just ran my first 120 roll through my Salut-S because of this thread. (I'm sending it off to Panda Lab in Seattle.) I keep going over to the fridge and opening it up to look at that box of 50 sheets of 4x5. I think I may need to get some 35mm, too.
My Brownie is different. There are hundreds of different Brownies over the years. Here is mine: Brownie pics
