The cars, the costumes, and the actors make for a very convincing recreation. Although the IIIf and I are old friends it really was a lot of fun to take it out and really give it a workout; especially challenging with the slow film. The Efke was developed in D-23 1:1. Most were from the second roll developed at 7 minutes. The negatives were real contrasty and were a bear to print. I have subsequently done some tests with shorter times and a borax post bath. Times for that method should be about 4-5 minutes in the D-23 1:1 with a 3 minute borax bath. Further testing should show whether the borax is really needed. Tests in D-76 1:1 were equally contrasty at the recommended times. Mike D - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
