Efke R25 Black and White 120 film is manufactured using classic emulsions with very high silver content. This results in a large exposure latitude and superior grayscale reproduction. The Efke 25 50 and 100 films are made using the ADOX formulas that were first introduced back in the 1950s.Efke products are true to their rated speed. Unlike modern flat crystal films which are very unforgiving to use these films allow beginners to produce quality images. The nature of the film also easily allows large grain free enlargements to be made from negatives.

"This is a thick-based old-school black and white film that gives me stunning results. I did comparisons with Agfapan 25, Kodak Panatomic-X 32 ASA and Ilford Pan-F Plus 50.



When it comes to grain size, no comparison: Efke R-25 (old Adox) gives me not only smaller grain, but detail at 100 feet t …"  Read Full Review »

But after using Efke 25 ISO twice on two separate subjects, I am thoroughly impressed.My …"  Read Full Review »
