ed b. Posted March 31, 2001 Share Posted March 31, 2001 I haven't had any responses on Fuji Neopan 100 SS, so I thought I would go ahead and ask if anyone has times for the current Efke films. They are hard to come by in the U.S. right now, but perhaps the Europeans might have more ready access. <p> I once used KB-14 and KB-17, both of which had ortho-panchromatic emulsions which were more sensitive to green. Very nice films. The KB-14 was rated at 20 and the KB-17 at 40. I'm told they have become KB-25 and KB-50 and have had their speeds revised upwards 1/3 stop. Efke also makes R-100 (used to be R-21) with a standard panchromatic emulsion. <p> Please include developer, dilution, time, temperature, agitation method, exposure index, and any comments.

j._patric_dahl_n Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 There is also Efke sheet film PL100. "PL" stands for the german "Planfilm". <p> The times given above is for usual small tank development. I use to agitate for five seconds every half minute.

georg_kern Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 The main distributor for efke films in Europe is Fotoimpex in Berlin/Germany. Go to their homepage at http://www.fotoimpex.de and klick onto the developer tank on the lower left corner of the opening page. This will give you time tables for (croatian) efke and (czech) foma films with many different developers. The list is in german and ENGLISH!. Fotoimpex ships worldwide, I think.

marcel_perez_calisto1 Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Any idea how to get Efke films in the U.S? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojim Posted May 7, 2001 Share Posted May 7, 2001 I'd enjoy hearing experiences with the Efke films in PMK developer. These emulsions seem ideally suited for a pyrogallol-based developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
