Review 1 of 6

Price Paid: $1.00 from Internet

Summary:

This film is ok for general use and for the money you pay.I start my first steps at serious photograph with this film.Rarely i get the results i wanted with this film.A lot of grain and strange/washed out colors comparing to Fuji Superia 200 which is 3 times the price of Agfa. I regret starting with this film.First i thought was a fault of my camera or lense.unfortunately was the film.

Strengths:

Good colors at bright light
very cheap
easy scanned
Suitable for the occasional user,night photograph and snapshots

Weaknesses:

Strange color palette
grainy
If you want vivid colors go to fuji

Review 3 of 6

Price Paid: $6.00 from Walgreens

Summary:

This is a great film and a great bargain for the money. I have used several rolls of this film in its incarnation as Walgreens Studio 35, and I have been very pleased. It seems to have a somewhat different color palette than the Fuji or Kodak films which is a nice change. Plus if you buy it at Walgreens it is only about $6 for 4 rolls.

Strengths:

Very inexpensive. Nice punchy colors.

Weaknesses:

Might be a little grainier than some other films.

Similar Products Used:

lots of various consumer color films

Review 4 of 6

Price Paid: $6.00 from Walgreen's

Summary:

This is terrific film. I couldn't find this film anywhere until I read here that it is the same as Walgreen's Studio 35 private label film. I went out and bought some and fired up two rolls. After developing them, I was very pleased with the results. Even in low light, this film performed well. The colors are very rich. I also found out that this film is the same as Walmart's Polaroid film. I just bought 4 rolls for less than $4. This is amazing.

Strengths:

Great color. Good in low light. Very very inexpensive film. Available everywhere (Walmart and Walgreen's).

Weaknesses:

None thus far since I've just started using it.

Similar Products Used:

Fuji Superia 200.

Review 5 of 6

Price Paid: $2.00 from Linn Photo

Summary:

The 200 speed film has always been a favorite of mine. I use it for nearly everything, with his film is at the top of my list. I do a lot of pet photography and the color rendition of this film is superb; even the multitude of tans on one of our cats come out distinct and lifelike. People photography is very good too, especially on people whose face tends to redden when photographed with Fuji film. The only weakness I''ve noticed so far is a tendency for a little bit of graininess, but it''s minor.

Strengths:

Great color accuracy without being muted or cast towards a certain color. Excellent sharpness.

Weaknesses:

Sometimes seems a bit grainy.

Similar Products Used:

Kodak, Fuji, Konica 200 speed films.
