Boris, one of my subscribers, called me up one day and told me he had 2 rolls of expired EFKE bw film and if I wanted them, I could have them.
Naturally, I jumped to the oportunity to test this legendary film, which was actually produced in my hometown. This was also an oportunity to tell a little story of how EFKE came to be, how it (unfortunately) went under and how the photos turned out.
Let me know if you've had the chance to shoot these films :)

the old style B&W films EFKE is remembered for started out as Adox produced films. When Adox closed, EFKE bought the rights and the coating equipment a just kept on making those films. In the late 1950s when I started into photography, these films were the least expensive and were commonly available. They were often heavily discounted in the store I used in Seattle, so a roll of 127 film (fitted many cheap cameras back then) was often 25 cents. The film came in ASA of 15, 25, or 100, slow but very sharp. I used a lot of it back then.

Very nice video, informative and interesting with emotional touch. It was a pleasure to meet you and to give you those Efke rolls. I hoped that you would make great film about Efke and I was right! Video is great! Keep up the great work!

Beautiful vid, nice family pics, your father made nice shots too. I was able to get some expired rolls of efke 100 for 35mm some years ago and when I developed them (T-Max-developer), they were shiny like a strip of silver - such a high amount of silver giving so much detail, really nice also to use with old lenses.

Yes, they made really nice films (you should try Efke 25, THAT one really shines). 😁 Cheers!

@@alexander.starbuck YES! I just had a look at my film stock and there is one roll left over, a efke 25 (35mm), expired in May 2002… I promise, I’ll make a film episode with it. Any suggestions for a camera (I have quite a stock on this too, over the past twenty years… but all older fifty years)? And any suggestions for development?
@alexander.starbuck

@@sentimental7167 Well, I'm also quite new at this and not so experienced but, the common recommendations seem to be to develop these expired, potentially fogged films "short and hard". That means highly concentrated developer, like Rodinal 1+25 for example, for a short amount of time... maybe a couple of minutes. But Apug.org would be your best source ;). And as far as the camera goes... Any camera will do, just make sure to rate your film at least one stop UNDER what it says on the box (so ASA25 becomes ASA12)

@@alexander.starbuck Thanks, so far I developed in T-Max-developer… let’s see… camera maybe my Minolta SR-7 with freshly serviced 1,4/58, would be fun… very inspiring chat here, thanks!

Nekad sam dosta koristio efke 135 dia. U ceni filma je bilo i razvijanje diasa.

Has anybody tried to shoot with expired R14. I just bought 2 rolls a week ago
@alexander.starbuck

I think it all varies from roll to roll (how ot was stored, etc.). But from my limited experience, I'sld say that Efke really does not age well
