Review 2 of 2
Summary: Sort of a compromise film, but I think it offers the wrong end of the compromise - the grain of a top-end 400-speed film, only without the speed. For all-purpose print film shooting, I'd recommend a 400-speed film - you'll get similar grain and color, with an additional stop of speed that can be very useful. Strengths: Terrific price.
Decent all-around performance (which is pretty hard to find) - it does well with skintones, but still pops colors.
Grain is good. Weaknesses: I tend to not like 200-speed films. The new 400-speed emulsions are every bit as fine-grained, and offer an additional stop of speed. At the same time, if I really want to make huge enlargements, then I go with a 100-speed film. This isn't a "weakness" of the Agfa product; just a comment on 200-speed print films in general. Similar Products Used: Fuji, Kodak Customer Service: Not needed.
