I like Efke KB 100 too, in fact I prefer it to Foma if you want a 100 speed film. Foma makes a 400 as well but Efke does not. Efke is a 1950's era emulsion. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-424-0897 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work!
