Jeffrey, I have quite some EFKE PL100, 4*5, which I assume to be the same emulsion. Somehow I cannot get it working statisfactory. It exhibits a high B+F, low contrast and reduced speed (50 asa, but that is not a real problem). I tried PyrocatHD, Xtol & Lpsupergrain. Could be my batch of film ofcourse. Could you share your processing details?
