Ah! way back some people were recommending Adox and might have tried it myself once.

Yes, the film is sold as 25 ISO, although the Efke paperwork describes it as a 20 ISO.
I have exposed for 25 ISO, and I'm of the impression that it was the correct exposure for the dev/time combination that I have used.
Maybe next roll I'll try with a more standard developer such as Rodinal, and at 20 ISO.

It's not as bad as it may seem.
Sunday was cloudy, yet I was able to use the camera hand-held with times around 1/125 to 1/180 at f/8 aperture (day time 15:00 to 17:00)
But in any case, for darker situations  :
Sure, it's not going to be a film for street snapshots, except maybe in summer.

By all means try it with rodinal at Iso 20 I'd like your opinion ! I have always found this film sensitive to overexposure so I usually rate it at Iso 40 . You have a winning combination here with the Gradual !!!
A great film for sure . Maybe a little curly out of the dev canister it's a small price to pay for traditional silver film !!!!!

Thanks, good to know! I will try maybe half roll at ISO 20 and the other half at ISO 40, and see what happens.

Oh yes, a real PITA, it totally curls even if I let it hanged to dry completely and with a weight on bottom.
I just came to it from the Fomapan 200 which is totally flat, a nightmare change
But as you say, the images are what matter, and this film delivers beautiful tones!
