Fotokemika - EFKE R14 - 20 

Fotokemika was a film stock manufactured under the licence of Fotowerke ADOX GMBH. The film stock was made in Yugoslavia, Zagreb.

Efke films are made according to the original ADOX formulations obtained under licence from DuPont. They are coated on dip and dunk machines which allow Efke to run small micro lots thereby ensuring a continually fresh supply of film even at low volume. These films are some of the last old-fashioned single layer emulsions still being made, which means that light scattering is minimised and sharper images are possible compared to modern multi-layer films. When developed in high acutance developers such as ADOX APH09, Tetenal Neofin Blau or Amaloco AM50, clear edge effects will be visible. The 25 and 50 speed films are pan-orthochromatic, thus large expanses of blue sky are rendered slightly deeper grey without the need to use the yellow K2 filtre, and indoor scenes under tungsten illumination are rendered more naturally, giving these emulsions the classic look of films from the 30's and 40's.

For normal exposure, the following exposure indices apply:
Efke 25: E.I. 14 DIN (20 ASA, ISO 20/14°, ГОСТ 16)
Efke 50: E.I. 17 DIN (40 ASA, ISO 40/17°, ГОСТ 32)
Efke 100: E.I. 21 DIN (100 ASA, ISO 100/21°, ГОСТ 90)

For optimum differentiation of highlights, the following values are recommended:
Efke 25: E.I. 18 DIN (50 ASA, ISO 50/18°, ГОСТ 45) + push 33% to 50%
Efke 50: E.I. 21 DIN (100 ASA, ISO 100/21°, ГОСТ 90) + push 33% to 50%
Efke 100: E.I. 24 DIN (200 ASA, ISO 200/24°, ГОСТ 180) + push 33% to 50%

Overexposure is not recommended with Efke films.

If this is an expired film, it is untested and no guarantees are given.

Our expired film can be bought in several options, this depends on the specific film.

Film with “no box” means that we could not save the outer package, due to its age.

Packages may look different than shown because the designs change through the years. Also, some may have a little bit of age to them as well. If you want a new-looking film you should buy a new film and not expired right?

Quick tip on using expired film.

Some film might be stored in a fridge and some might not, so shooting expired film is always a chance of luck.

Because the film is expired you should keep in mind you could adjust the ISO to its “new age”.
You know, have a little bit more sensitivity for it.
This should only be applied to color negative film, slide film is ofter better to shoot on “normal “box speed.

For every TEN YEARS, a roll of film is expired shoot it ONE-STOP LOWER.

So for example you are using a 400 ISO film from 2009.
You should shoot it one-stop lower so that would be?
200! Right on!
And now if it was a pack of expired film from 1999?
100! Again your right!

You could also first meter the scene and then lower your settings so you get one-stop lower.
