Efke PL100 6.5x9 cm, 2 ½ x 3 ½ B&W Sheet Film


efke PL100 M (TROPICAL)
ISO 100, 6.5 x 9 cm or 2 ½ x 3 ½ in Cut, Print/Negative (Slide/Reversal optional,) Black and White Film 07/2013

Efke 100 is a traditional panchromatic black and white film.
This film was technically designed to "allow beginners to produce quality images" - Freestyle
As all Efke films, R100 has a clear film base so it is suitable for the film reversal process, where transparencies can be rendered.

I picked up a few boxes of this Classic piece of photographic history not because it is almost all gone, but simply because I enjoy the darkroom process of sheet film.

Eventhough a 6x9 rollfilm holder will provide practically the same exposure size, unfortunately, each exposure of the entire roll must be developed the same way.
However with sheet film, you can experiment with certain exposures and then develop accordingly.
Also, I just learned that "TROPICAL" means the film, as well as the development process, are warm weather friendly.

Note: 6.5 x 9 cm Film holders are required. I have Mamiya Type A and J, upon request.

Please check out the specs from Fotokemika.
