Mr Worry · Jan 4, 2009

Hi i was hopeing to process some Efke R100 127 B&W and was wondering what would be the best dev to use (includeing times) as a good all rounder to get some nice results. Also im going to shoot it though an old kodak brownie 127 Many Thanks

D-76 works pretty good.

Rodinal 1+100 for about 18 minutes works really well too.

Don't Worry
R100 is the same as Adox CHS 100:

Massive dev chart is a good place for times:

Rodinal 1:50 for 10min @ 20º C with standard agitation, and (with proper exposures) you've got beautiful negs.

I tried the 1:100 semi-stand process, and saw no great benefit from it, other than a slight increase in shadow detail.

Good luck with your Efke!

My standard is: agitation for the 1st minute, then for 5sec every 30sec. Making sure to rap the bottom to dislodge any air bubbles as well.

Everything in my flickr stream was processed that way (sans color films of course).

Good luck with your Efke, it's a nice film.
