Efke 2.25 x 3.25" PL 25M Black and White ISO 25 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 25M Black and White ISO 25 Negative Film (25 Sheets):
i'm one of the strange ducks that still use sheet film in a view camera. and this is a great film to use. fine grain and good gradation. plus sheet film gives me the ability to develop each exposure individually if i need to. emulsion is soft, so care must be taken in tray development. thanks to b&h for carrying it.
