Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $1.00 from SUPERMARKET ?

Summary:
Sorry guys but this is a awful film , In fairness most consumer d&p labs are set up for and apparently owned /franchised for Kodak or Fuji.
The grain is more like a 400/800 ASA old school fast colour negative .
I did try scanning it @ 3600 dpi with a Prime Film 3600u scanner which isn't exactly the best scanner in the world !, but I lack the profiles with the very basic Silver Fast software . The latest 6.5 version has Negfix with a updated version of all the profiles

Strengths:
None unless you can scan it yourself with the right profile. Agfa don't produce film anymore and there was a improved version .

Weaknesses:
Where do you start ?

Similar Products Used:
Kodak Royal Gold 400 , Konica Centuria

Customer Service:
Not an issue

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
A good and inexpensive print film with high colour saturation, excellent sharpness and fine grain. My favourite colour print film.

Strengths:
High colour saturation - vivid and strong colours. Fine grain. Good sharpness. Wide exposure latitude. Works well in mixed lighting

Weaknesses:
Since it's an uncommon film, many labs does not have a correct processing channel for it - so the result can be really poor. But correctly processed, this film is stunning.

Similar Products Used:
Kodak Gold, Fujicolor Superia

Customer Service:
never used

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $2.00

Summary:
I used these for shooting landscape. The results were not really good. I also used Fujiclour Reala, Speria, Kodak Gold and Royal Gold. The Agfa/Gevaert HDC plus 200 was the worst. I do not think that I will use them anymore.

Strengths:
Cheap.

Weaknesses:
Grainy.

Similar Products Used:
