I'm really getting to like the Efke 25. It's a real format stretcher and just looks nice. Gotta watch the contrast. I'm rating it at 25 outdoors and developing in Rodinal 1:100 15 min at 68 deg. with agitiation every 3 min. I've been using it for seascapes with my "beach cam", an old Kodak Reflex II, which is impressing me too. If I slip on a rock and accidently drop the camera in the ocean, I'm out about 25 bucks. But I'll tell you the negs sure don't look like it :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Brick" <jim@xxxxxxxxx> To: <pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 25, 2005 4:44 PM Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Gigabitfilm > At 11:43 AM 2/25/2005, Koch, Gerald wrote: > > > >Years ago, before Kodak discontinued Pan-X, I used the Beutler formula > >with it for several years and got very good results.
