lex_jenkins Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Todd, check with JandCPhoto. They're on the web. They import Efke films and other interesting products not readily available to the U.S. from other sources. I bought some Efke film and other products from them last year. Very satisfactory service, prompt delivery and excellent products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_barger Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If only it didn't think it was a soda straw. At least that's my experience in 120mm. I would love to use it again, but can't work around the curl. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_weiler Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 So far the 35mm Efke KB-25 in PMK Pyro 1:2:100 for 7 minutes at 68F is still too contrasty for my condensor englarger. Will try it in a low contrast developer, maybe Mic-X 1:3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 If you find it too contrasty, cut back the development time. Shoot a test roll and cut it in half. Load half in one reel and half in another reel. Fill a 2-reel tank with developer so that you can process one reel for 6 minutes, and after one minute, put in the second reel, so it gets 5 minutes total development time. Do this part in the dark, and then you can cover the tank and turn on the lights and proceed normally. Chances are one of these rolls will be just right, and if not, try cutting back to 4 min. Shorter than that might give you uneven results with PMK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher_singleton Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 has anyone used the 4x5 sheet film? I had some serious spotting issues on the film, don't think it was related to development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich815 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've been using Efke 25 in 4x5, no issues you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
