Thanks to everyone who commented. Not to much artistry in those shots I admit, but I really love that feeling of history. Scott, you are right, not a lot of choice in 127. It was EFKE, made by a brave Croatian company, apparently the only source in the world. And yes, it curls like buggery too. There are a few other places I've seen that sell 127 spliced from 120. But the backing paper is all wrong (no film counter on the VPK). I wonder if I can get EFKE in 120 to see how it performs with more modern optics.
