    Re: Efke PL 25 M resolution / datasheet?

    There is another "extremely fine grain" option available in roll film, which is ILFORD's PAN F Plus at ISO 50. I have shot a couple of rolls with it in landscape situations over the last few months, and it seems to develop well in the D-76 I use. When I look at the images from this film under my enlarger, using a PEAK grain focuser, it is quite hard to see any grain in it at all. The description at Adorama's website mentions that it is commonly used in photographing documents, but also in landscape photography and other applications. However, all the preceding discussion of resolutions in lines per mm is beyond my experience (and, frankly, tends to leave a bit of a headache). ...

    This is a Pleistocene thread by now; but most of these films looks suitable for tricolor work anyway, either due to lack of true pan qualities or due to the very
    restricted nature of the characteristic curve. I just shot my last two rolls of Rolleipan 25. It might work so-so. But until somebody attempts color separation negs
    with something like this, they rarely realize the headache involved. Use something reasonably fine-grained instead, with a proven track record, named TMX 100,
    or perhaps FP4. Going ultra-fine just opens a can of worms.

    typo once again... most look UNSUITABLE for tricolor work.
