If you like PL100, you may try Fomapan 100 the two films are similar
although I think Fomapan is probably a degree better. I tested Efke PL 100
a while back and for what ever reason it produced very poor results
using three seperate developers. I think the film base was fogged as
I got a FB+Fog level of around .33 additionally upon exposure I could never
get clean highlight seperation. The Foma on the other hand produced a
relatively high base fog also, but did maintain good clean mid tone and
highlight seperation using the smae three developers.

FotoImpex should be able to get the Foma for you, if interested.
I know 8x10 is special order from Foma, 5x7 should be a stock item.
