I was at Freestyle today and I met with Eric Joseph who handles all of the ordering for Freestyle. The Fotokemika production is done! No more coating. The factory will close. They have inventory and master rolls that have been coated. This has been reported here in another thread.

Eric told me that they have master rolls coated but he can not get an answer as to how much. So, Freestyle will place one last order for Efke film for them to cut and send to them. I asked about the possibility of cutting Efke 25 in 8x20. We would have to do a 10 box minimum most likely and if we do more all the better. Price now is $175.99 a box. (I'm using the PL-100 pricing) As an 8x20 shooter I'd like to see if I could stock up on this film if I could. Please pm me or send me an e-mail to jim@carbonartphotography.com if you are interested. Eric can not guarantee that they will do this but I think if there is interest we could get it done. Freestyle would bring it in and handle the shipping and payment. Please let me know. We need to act on this right away.

Also, if some of you are interested in 11x14 Efke-25 let me know and it may be possible to have this cut as well.Just throwing it out there for those who may be interested so let me know. I may go for 3-4 boxes of 8x20 if I can swing it.

Mark, yes it is. I have been using Efke 25 for many years now. It give me the look that I am after. Now, like many of us I have to get back to FP4+ and support Ilford when the time comes. It would be nice to get one last batch of 8x20 Efke-25 though.

I forgot to add that the 8x20 is 25 sheet boxes. Thanks.

I could go for some Efke 25 in 11x14 or 8x20 if this is still a ball in play.

It does not look like this will happen. Not enoigh interest and I do not think they will cut the film withoit a sufficient order. Ill check with Freestyle today.
Thanks
