efke and j&c classic?
Has anyone had any experience with either the Efke pl100 or J&C Classic 4X5
film? I see that they (J&C) suggest using pyro but I was wondering if anyone has used either of these with d-23, split development or water bath development. argon |

Don't know how helpful I'm gonna be but here goes.. I've used the J&C Classic in a 3.25x4.25 camera because it is one of (or the) only films in that size.. I believe it is Bergger 200. I have used Bergerr 200 in 120 roll and 8x10 and it seems to behave the same. The notch code was the same on the J&C and the Bergger and the packaging (thin paper interleaving the sheets. Be sure to take tall of hem out when you are loading. I left a couple in. Film didn't work too good. ) That said, I developed in D76 and got pretty good results. The camera hadn';t been used in quite a long time and the shutter seems to be off so the exposures weren't very good so I can't really comment on the development. When I processed the 120, I used HC-110 1:7 for 6 min and got pretty good results. They were medium contrast images and printed easily with a #2 filter. I'm guessing that anything you read about Bergger will apply to the J&C unless someone can say otherwise for sure.. Jeff |

I've used Efke 100 (in 9x12 size) with both D-76 and HC-111 (B), both of which gave very nice results. I can't imagine you could do much worse with D-23. -- It's fun to demonize the neo-cons and rejoice in their discomfiture, but don't make the mistake of thinking US foreign policy was set by Norman Podhoretz or William Kristol. They're the clowns capering about in front of the donkey and the elephant. The donkey says the UN should clean up after them, and the elephant now says the donkey may have a point. Somebody has come out with a dustpan and broom. - Alexander Cockburn, _CounterPunch_ (http://www.counterpunch.org), 9/17/03 |

More and more I find myself appreciating the merits of D23 diluted 1 to 1. -- LF website http://members.bellatlantic.net/~gblank |
