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 b

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

I shot a roll of the 120. It curled so bad when drying that it was almost impossible to print. The nets looked good, but if I can't get it to dry relatively flat, the look is kind of beside the point. It would have required a glass negative carrier. Paul On Dec 11, 2004, at 5:36 PM, Henri Toivon

Hi Paul, on the danger of sounding like a Rodinal addict, try the Efke film with rodinal... if what I heard about the Efke is true, it might make an excellent combination. IIRC these films are the thick-emulsion types, so little less sharp than the newer tri-x or hp5 films, but offe
