Efke 2.25 x 3.25" PL 100 M Black and White ISO 100 Negative Film is a fine grain, extremely sharp film that is characterized by a very high silver content. Prints displaying an excellent gray scale tonality are produced using traditional black and white developers. Efke films are made using ADOX formulas (for high resolution) that were first introduced back in the 1950s.
Efke products are true to their rated speed. They allow both amateurs and professionals to produce high-quality prints. As a result of the fine resolution of this film, large, grain free, enlargements can be made from the negatives.

Comments about Efke 2.25 x 3.25" PL 100 M Black and White ISO 100 Negative Film (25 Sheets):
This film is the only 2 and 1/4 film I have been able to find but it works great. I use it in an old Graphlex that I got on E bay and this film holds up well. It is recommended that you use a hardner in the fixer and I have tried both with and without. Definitely prefer with. Has great contrast even with my old camera and lens. Only drawback is it really does not fit the film holder tightly and has been known to slip a little which means the negative is skewed, but I can live with it if it means I don't have to cut down large sheets of film in the dark. Very Convenient.
