I am interested in "alternative" b&w film, e.g. EFKE and FOMAPAN as well
as developers..

I own a copy of Marc Riboud's "In China". Besides the historic aspect of
looking at images from a period of 40 years, I am intrigued by the
different "look" of images then and now. I tend to like the older ones
more than the new ones. So I am curious whether this is an aspect of
older lenses and film emulsions, or a matter of sentimentality related
to "old fashioned" subjects, being in line with stereotypes of Chinese
lifestyle.
