Here's a few shots that I did with my Topcon 35-L & Agfa Superpan 200 expired since 1984! I developed the roll in my Rondinax 35 with Rodinal 1-25 for 8:40 minutes.
The whole combo Camera/film was a big " ? " as I didn't knew in which condition this roll had been stored and I CLA'd the camera myself. I'll be honest, I was expecting a fiasco haha

4.4cm. That's an unusual focal length.

Indubitably. Thanks to the leaf shutter, I was able to get handheld shakefree shots at 1/8 (Edit: Oops I mean 1/10. This camera has old shutter speeds) . The shots I posted so far were shot at f/4.7.

Short lived and replaced by Kodak with the Ektar 100 because I was the only one buying it apparently in 1991 there was an Ektar 25 & 1000 which I didn't use at all. The Ektar 125 was one of the finest films I ever printed from (Incl Kodachrome 64). I had my own darkroom at that time and could print up to 36" Colour and Black & White from negatives and slides. I only developed B&W film ; colour and slide film I farmed out. Those that have darkroom experience know that in focusing the enlarger you focused on the grain in the negative.Not with Ektar 125 the grain was so fine it was almost invisible to see and you had to focus on some detail in the negative instead. The silver halides were symetrical (round ) as well unlike other film which were random shaped silver halides.
The following Photos were scanned from prints on an old Lexar Pro900 so not best of quality but the point is that they originated from 15 - 25% coverage on the Ektar 125 negative and had to be heavily cropped. I had no problem with 24" X 36" prints from that film. Commercially we printed 4 ft X 8 ft panels on machines in Toronto.

The last picture was the bonus at that shooting. I was using K1000 300mm Lens + 2 X converter on a snugged down tripod. I picked them up way in the distance and then followed them in until I got enough in the frame ; never knowing what else I was getting in the frame. Notice that the wheels of both F18's are touching the wire and also the tail hooks. The wires are in the foreground and show up . I could not have got that shot if I tried a Bazziilion times
