wrecked...

Fort Stevens, Oregon Coast, February 2006.

I damaged the soft emulsion of this Croatian-made film with the squeegee before drying. I knew better but the squeegee thing is a habit and I did it without thinking.

The choices among traditional suppliers of black and white materials are shrinking. So we are compelled to explore film from other sources, such as this one from Eastern Europe.

These explorations can be interesting and fun. My luck with Efke wasn't so good though. The tones are fine, but the emulsion is fragile and the film base curls like a watch spring.

Rolleiflex MX-EVS (t1) Xenar, Efke R100.
