I too have found the Efke 25 to be very punchy.  Others have not.  It may be
that the newer emulsion is somehow different.  I've had best results with
D-23 1:3.  I haven't done much with D-76.  I did one test with D-76 1:1 at
7.5 min at 21c and it was overdeveloped.  You might try something shorter or
with more dilution.

The Foma 400 that I have has the same type of frame numbers so I don't think
yours is special!

Just a quick query re these films. My first ever roll
of Efke 25 was VERY punchy! Developped it in TMAX
developer but I think I'll try the next roll in D76
1:1 (sorry can't recall who suggested that but
thanks!). Is it normally this contrasty or have I
stuffed it up?

The Fomapan 200 was much more manageable, again
developed in TMAX developer, but it had really wierd
frame numbers, 0 - 80 in steps of 2. It looked like it
was designed for half frame use! Again I'll try the
next roll in D76 1:1.  Does it come with normal frame
numbering or have they sent me something a bit
"special"?

Both films are different to what I am used to seeing
with TMAX100, but as I bought packs of ten I'll have
plenty of opportunity to experiement (before heading
back to TMAX!).

PS March 30 should be OK for Paris PLUG, but I have to
ask my wife for a leave pass first - she is never keen
on me going to Paris on my own as I have way too much
fun...
