Hi James ... Good catch! There's been a lot of discussion about the film recently, and there seems to be plenty of information available from many sources. The DR5 info is dated, however. Freestyle no longer lists it, but a little hole-in-the-wall shop in my area carries it. Go figure. They're a little expensive compared to German mail order prices, but a good source to grab a couple of rolls to try the film.
The Garage Photographers development chart offers but minimal information. I just put up a more complete chart on my site, although it still has a few obvious omissions. jmadams wrote: > > Shel, > I just did a quick search on Google and came across this link reviewing Efke > 25 > http://www.dr5.com/efke25.html stating: > > Efke-25: > > The efke films are most exceptional in quality in dr5.
