A nice guy who has an opinion of a film, one film shot with an Orange filter, and put it to the lab for development.
No control at all on the process, using an Orthopan film with an orange filter and has the guts, in this way to compare it with a Kodak film.
If you have a little bit knowledge you know that Efke (single layer film) can not have over exposure and certainly not over development.
Mr K.R. I am sorry, but this conclusion really sucks .......
You can't see it here, but the ASA 25 EFKE KB25 film, as processed and scanned at NCPS, is at least as grainy as Kodak T-Max 100 and yields very thick and contrasty negatives. I suspect less development might be a good idea next time, but there won't be a next time as I much prefer the images I get from Kodak T-Max 100, which is also two very needed stops faster, and less expensive. The EFKE KB25 is a primitive film made in Croatia, and Kodak T-Max 100 is the most advanced B&W film on the planet. Kodak T-Max 100 gives better quality at ISO 100 (to my eye) than EFKE KB25 gives at ISO 25, which is as I expected.
