Digital BW, The Print

I've been experimenting with 100 speed films for a few
months. Delta 100 seems the "winner" for me so far, souped
up in HC-100. Suitable for handheld shooting, forgiving enough
of exposure variation, fine-enough grain, blah-blah. I'm still
trying out APX100. My first roll was over developed (probably
temp. variations in the summer heat), but I'm still working at
it. FP4+ in Acutol also looks good, but I haven't yet achieved
consistencey with processing yet.

But I too have been intruighed by the EFKE 25 film. What is
the best soup for this film? Scanning on a Coolscan V, what
kind of enlargements might such scans support? Would this
be a suitable "portrait" film with studio lighting?

Any and all enlightenment greatly appreciated.
