Efke PL25M

I processed two batches, each of 20 sheets of 4" x 5" Efke PL25M film this week.  I processed in Rodinal developer, 1:50, with minimal agitation.  I really like the way that this fine grained film responds to this development.  It yields such wonderful smooth images, specially when shot in soft light.  The fact that it is very slow, I expose it at ISO 10, results in very long shutter speeds being required, even in daylight.  It is my film of choice when I want to show motion.  
I scanned about half of the sheets, now that my new computer is working with my old scanner.  These include a few images from the recent Fall Photo Weekend in Jasper, a couple from my Playground Ghosts series, and a few that date back to 2010.
