Re: Efke 25, 50, 100

Early Pan films had a decidedly blue sensitivity.  In fact early films 
were ortho chromatic with no red sensitivity at all.  They give a 
decidedly unnatural look to skin tones.   You can however develop them 
under a red safelight.  I haven't seen them so I can't speak to their 
grain structure but I'd expect very fine grain from film with an ISO of 
25 or 50.

Germany and I have read some comments that they are incredibly sharp 
with minimal grain. So I'm considering to buy a 10pack and try it out.
Though I read somewhere something about limited red sensitivity and 
that you get a "turn of the century" look with them, and I don't 
really understand what this means.

So I ask you, comments on these films?
