Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film
Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film is a fine grain, extremely sharp negative film that can also be processed as a reversal film characterized by a very high silver content.
This film is designed to be reversed processed as a B&W slide film - much like Agfa Scala.The resulting chromes display an excellent gray scale tonality. 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.

The image quality is rather nice with very good tone scale. I soup it in Rodinal 1:100 and find that the grain is very good and to my liking. Cons: Very curly, can be hard to load on reels sometimes and the emulsion is very sensitive to scratching. This would not be my first choice of B&W film (Delta 100 or Fuji Acros would), but if you shoot 127 film cameras I guess you don't have much choice.

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
I was totally surprised to discover that someone is still making 127 film for my 50 year old Brownie Bullet. I was even more surprised to discover that the camera still works and that the Efke film is great. It reminds me of the old Kodak Plus X with great tonal range and tight grain. I bought some for my 35mm too and can't wait to try it.

I use this with a baby Rollei, great look about with this film. I've had a couple problems with the film not spooling tight enough but i just make sure i unload in a very dark place and wrap it up quickly.

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
There aren't a lot of options for B&W 127 film these days. Efke's film certainly worked but, like other reviews I've seen, had problems with the emulsion flaking off.
Definitely not professional grade stuff but it would be perfect for students/experiments.

I'm a photographer that uses vintage cameras to shoot portraits for a fun project on the side. When it comes to film, I'm usually at a loss to find decent quality and price. This totally supports my hobby, and works great for my uses.

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
Good film, nice range, pictures are above average. Can't get 127 film anywhere else, so if you want to shoot on some of the old 127 cameras then you might as well buy this. Or you could cut your own film from 120 size stock rolls and then respool it by hand. But, seriously, who wants to do that when these rolls are 7 bucks?

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
This was the first time I used efke film, and I tested it out on a Kodak Brownie "Super 27" camera from the 1960's. I wasn't expecting much, but the tonal quality and detail on this film were very strong and impressive. I didn't use any filters the first time around; the next time I get this film I will try it with a yellow filter and see how well it performs!

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
I recently got this film for my Yashica-44 camera. There are not many places that you can find 127 film. So far I have enjoyed this film but I have noticed that if you follow the set amount of exposures it directs you to take it will only be 7 shots. There is a lot of extra space on the negatives that could have been exposed. I would suggest playing with the amount that you can fit on a role. The only other downfall is that it can be hard to put it in the camera, but then again that might just be my camera. Overall I will continue to buy this film and many other films from B&H.

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
This film really creates some great tones and can be very forgiving with exposure, which is good because you're not going to get it to push much at all in processing. Also be aware that the quality can randomly be an issue and you may find yourself with some damages frames. I feel like its worth overlooking since its a good three dollars cheaper a roll than the Rollei retro 80s (its only real competitor in this format) and produces better results IMO.

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
nobody else makes 127 film anymore. i picked up an olde tyme kodak vest pocket camera and needed to find film for it. i ran some through and developed it myself (you'll be hard-pressed to find anybody who will develop it for you). the paterson universal developing tank comes with an adjustable reel. the middle setting will develop 127 film just fine.
this film is also the reason i decided to start developing my own film. i love it!

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
I bought this for an old Argoflex 75 camera to take vintage looking pictures. The film is so stiff that it uncoiled like a clock spring in the camera. I recommend loading the camera in a lightproof bag or dark room, since mine was ruined in places by light seapage. It processed well with D76, and scanned easily on a Cannon scanner. The pictures looked like 1950s!

Comments about Efke 127 R100 Black and White Negative or Reversal Film:
Something about this film makes black and white -- and the celestial silver, gray and charcoal in between -- as flagrantly enjoyable as technicolor. It may be possible to take a bad picture with it, and some day some genius will figure out how. Meanwhile, it's an exciting tool in the photographer's kit and a new secret weapon of mine.
