I've been using Efke KB 25 for several months--I like it so much that I ordered 5 more 100" rolls from Freestyle and put them in my freezer--I'll worry about a new source when they're gone. I've been rating the film @ e.i. 64 and developing it for 7.5 minutes in straight D23 (20% more than the time listed on Efke's data sheet for ID 11/D76--Efke recommends an e.i. of 50, but my negs were slightly too dense). The results are breathtaking--great tonality, very sharp, invisible grain. I imagine a developer like Rodinal might make more sense, but I LOVE the look of D23 & use it for everything now.
