Sorry to raise this again, as I know it's been exhaustively discussed before. However, returning to B&W photography after several years I'm about to try Efke 25 rollfilm for the first time in PMK, which was formerly my developer of choice.
I've thoroughly searched the web for information on developing times and have uncovered lots of confusion. For example:
5.5 - 6 min. and 15 min (one post) on this forum,
12 min. - unblinking eye,
7.5 min. - massive dev. chart.
No doubt some of these figures may relate to different film sizes, dilutions and temperatures. If a few Efke/PMK users could post their actual times and temperatures for 1+2+100, I'd be very grateful.
My gut feeling based on past experience with other films tells me that 6-7 min. is probably in the right ball park. (No way would I be game to try 15 min right off :eek: !)
Many thanks,
Baz.
