[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've bought an amount of the 200 ISO black and white film that Jessop in the UK sells, since it is the cheapest way I've discovered to buy film and it could be very good. I should probably own up and say I've got the 120 version since it is cheaper than other 120 films- the 35mm one Jessop currently sells is a new type and from a different source, and also not so cheap. I will however be using it in my Rollei SL66, with- wait for it- a Leitz 135mm/f4 Elmar lens head from the old M lens! (On topic again- a simple somersault...) They say that it is actually the same as Adox film (and Efke?); on the box it says "Made in Croatia". I'm tickled pink by the thought of using this stuff and getting great results. I will of course experiment, starting with Rodinal and Xtol, but any processing suggestions would be very welcome. If anyone has any experience of using this film and can share their favourite ISO settings and developers for it, it would be very helpful.
