Hi, The original message has not appeared here. I've used a few rolls of Efke 25 ands like it quite a bit. It's sharp, has nice tonality in ID-11, the grain structure is fine and tight, certainly on par with Panatomic-X. But, since you don't know about the older films the only real suggestion is to buy some, process it, print it, and see if you like it.
No matter what anyone here says about the film, if you have no point of reference for it, the comments are meaningless. If you've never worked with such slow film before, which is often more contrasty than faster film, you'll definitely want to establish your own EI for it. All of the slow, fine grained films I've used required very careful exposure and processing when used in bright sunlight. I can't tell you haw many rolls of Panatomic-X I ruined because of not knowing know how to make a proper exposure with it in bright sunlight. and relied only on normal development.. Learn to expose and develop it (and any other B&W film) properly and you'll end up with great negs and fine prints. Shel > > Yeah I have read this on the net.
