I've tried Efke 25 in 120 size and 4x5 sheets.
In both of cases with Rodinal and results were just great.
Very small grain, given the low ISO index (25) for sure, despite Rodinal is
not the best to achieve this, though still one of film developers I like
more because of evenness and tonal ranges those films show up with.

Only problem I had with roll films is that usually tends to curl, nothing
that bad but not to be so happy with

I think worth a try.
And I've seen the Efke 100 belonging to other photographers and they looked
pretty good too. 

de nada
