I still shoot a lot of black and white film in my OM's and my Mamiya 645.
Back in college I played around with about every film available then (in the
late 90's) and settled on Kodak's Tmax films as my favorites. I recently got
the bug to experiment after noticing how many films from small eastern
European factories are available now. I tried Forte, Efke, and Foma films,
developed in PMK and Rodinal. I have used and loved Rodinal since high
school, but am just starting out with PMK. I have to say I have fallen in
love with Efke films in PMK. Check this out, shot with my OM-4T, 35mm f2, on
Efke KB-100 film developed in PMK:

Isn't the tonality GORGEOUS? I have just ordered a big order of Efke KB 100
in 35mm and 120. Wow! I have a few rolls of the 25 I bought too to try but
haven't got to use it yet.
