Efke 8 x 10" 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.
- Made in Croatia
- Efke roll films are coated on a acetate base (130 microns plus coating)

Comments about Efke 8 x 10" PL 25M Black and White ISO 25 Negative Film (50 Sheets):
I love the 4x5 Efke 25 sheet film and wanted to
try the 8x10. The 8x10 seems much more delicate than
the 4x5. If you are developing in a tray rather than
a tank, only develop one sheet at a time, since any
contact with the emulsion by a sheet corner will mar the emulsion. Nice tonal range, seems like a very high silver content. Good latitude.
I'm quite happy with the 8x10 though one must be very careful if developing in trays. I think a hardening fixer is a must, 5 minutes seems to be the required fixing time.
Pros
- Good Tonal Range
Cons
- Not always perfect coatin

Comments about Efke 8 x 10" PL 25M Black and White ISO 25 Negative Film (50 Sheets):
I use this film for landscape work and shoot it in both 8x10 and 5x7. I rate it at 25 and develop it in Xtol.
I like the built in contrast you get with this speed. It's got a good punch and fairly good range but will overdevelop fast if you're not mindful.
I print in Platinum so having something that can dig into the details and still produce a solid contrast range is a real treat.
I don't use it for everything but what I do use it for (landscapes, still life) it works great
So, do a test or two and have fun
