Hi Tarek, Efke 25 has a wonderful 'creamy' look to it and virtually no
grain. I have some in the freezer and may take my M6 with me on a trip to
Germany/France next month.

Adox appears to have replaced the Efke brand. Here's a page from a UK
supplier of the film - and lots of other interesting stuff too..
