Photos from your "last" roll of a particular film?

...

Never been populair: Efke R100. Grainy film, curly film and a soft emulsion which can be damaged quickly.
However in 6x7cm grain is not an isssue. Glass, A.N. glass in the enlarger doesn't matter for curl and any wet soft emulsion you have to treat carefully.
Well the last Efke R100 film. Just made on bike to the supermarket today in Herpen. Just developed in Beutler 1+1+8 for 10 minutes at 20C. Printed by my Dunco II 67 with split grade.
Sometimes you regret that this last film batch which I bought in beginning 2012 for Eur. 1,40 for this roll film.

Some people hate it, some people like it. What is your opinion for a film we lost when Fotokemika closed their factory?

I think it was a big loss for the people shooting 127 film, since it was the last b&w film in this format together with the Rollei 80 which was produced at the same plant.


From my 5 m spool of Ilford PAN F (best before 1986) taken in 2012:

(Leica III (black) with uncoated nickel Elmar 50 mm f/3.5 (both 1934) at f/3.5 (or 4.5?))

Ilford P4 @ASA800, rodinal 1:100 1 hour stand

I still have some remains on my roll of P4 .. maybe 2 or 3 films worth. For some reason I like it better than HP5+ (I believe it was HP5 (w/o the plus) on a thin base anyway .. I once had some of this in the Rapidwinder box and it looked similar). I also have 18m of P3 in my freezer.

My last roll of APX 25

Also that was a very nice film, 180lp/mm and a fine emulsion. Agfa stopped around 2001 this film production. After going to Agfa Photo in 2004 the story ended in 2005/2006 when the whole Agfa Photo went belly up incl. APX-100, APX-400 (but not my favorit film) and some interesting color films. Apart from that nice MCP / MCC papers with real deep Blacks. However for APX-25 I found Efke 25 back but now lost in August 2012 and for the papers a good replacement in Fomaspeed Variant and Fomabrom Variant.
