Try some Efke KB25, which, as the name implies, is ISO 25. It's the old Adox
KB14 in sheep's clothing. For those of us who curse Kodak and desperately miss
Panatomic-X, this is as close as you can get. Incredible sharpness when souped
in Rodinol, and the finest grain and acutance you'll ever see when developed in
Neofin Blue. I just laid in 24 36-exp. rolls. Guess what I'll be doing for a
while.
Black and white still lives in some quarters. I'm not impressed with digital
for color under nearly any circumstance, but it truly always seriously sucks
trying to do quality B&W.
