Imagelink is a family of microfilms from Kodak
Copex is a family of microfilms from Agfa
Fuji too have a bunch of microfilms with names like Super HR and HSU.
Also in the family of films suitable for high resolution photography are
traffic and cine copy materials... even some aerial stocks..
Traffic films have the extended red that people wanted from TechPan..
Copex and Imagelink are pan films.
The big advantage of microfilms for pictorial applications, beyond resolution,
is availability and price. Microfilm (as long as one does not need perforations)
is very cheap. They are perfect for subminis such as Minox.
For pictorial applications the closest to Technical Pan is Copex Rapid AHU--
its, in fact, in my opinion superior.

Efke is hardly a replacement for Agfapan 25.. its got nothing in common
with Technical Pan.. neither the red sensitivity, grain nor resolution.
