4x5 on Flatbed vs 6x7 on film scanner

[Jiri Vasina]

... Don has proven that with a film that no other LF forum member has ever heard of, you can get a nice looking larger print from 35mm using a drum scanner, ...

Adox/Efke 25 is the film I'm shooting in 5x8 size (cutting from 8x10) and when I want no grain in my 6x9cm Fuji rangefinder. So I'd certainly not say it's such an obscure film. It's readily available to those who look after it, in Europe, and I think also in the US.

What a shame. The behavior on this thread really belongs on dpreview.com or photo.net.

Hi Jiri,

I did find a place that has the 120 and sheet film no problem, but couldn't find any in 35mm?

OT, but quickly, what's your take on the 90mm vs. 65mm Fuji rangefinders and which is the better one to go for (does it matter which vintage-I/II/III)?

Mike, re: Fuji, 65mm is the one to take for landscapes (at least for me) and, 90mm for portraits. For general travel I'd take either or both I bought the 90mm, my brother has both and I borrow the 65mm one from him if I need it. Both the lenses are excellent, though the 65mm is only f:5.6, which might be a bit slow at times.

Both I and my brother have the II variant. I don't feel I'd gain anything with the III.

I don't know about Efke in 35mm, but I think FotoImpex.de would carry it... I shoot only rolls and sheets

Thanks Jiri!
