Last of my 8x10 film.

[Tom Hoskinson]

As I've stated many times before, my choices are Efke 100, Efke 25, TMAX 400, J&C 400 and Pyrocat HD. I use the same combinations in 120 rollfilm, 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10. These days I shoot mostly 8x10.

another vote for efke. It is soft, however, and I like to use hangers if I ever learn how to keep surge marks out. I rate the 100 at 80.

Surge marks??

I've never seen them on Efke sheet film that I develop in either slosher trays or BZT type tanks (with Pyrocat-HD).

I've never seen them on Efke 120 roll film either, for that matter.

Surge marks are usually related to agitation method. When I use hangers, I'm careful to lift them all the way out of the solution, tip to one side, then to the other side, and I don't get surge marks.

Use tube development and pyrocat. See development tubes in "how to" articles. tim

Only use 4x5 but FWIW, I'm going to have to be very boring and say FP4 and HP5 in ID-11 ... I read so much about some of the central european films that I will try some eventually, but at the rate I use 4x5 film it will be a year before I run out of FP4 & HP5...

Cheers, Bob.
