Summary:

Say goodbye to the pioneer... Agfacolor slide film was introduced in 1936, now the remaining stock of its last sucessaor is hard to sell out. Also available as OEM film from drug store chains approaching expiration date... Agfa's slide films' strength were the neutral-to slightly warm natural, but never oversaturated colors. It as pity to see them going forever.

Strengths:

Natural colors, not the bluish tint of earlier Ektachrome or the magenta cast of Kodachrome, or the strange olive-black instead of green seen with Fuji's earlier slide film. Natural skin tones. In some films I have noticed a pink-brown color shift, but this may result from insufficient quality control in development (I assume temperature deviation). Quite well scannable also with intermediate-level film scanners (Dmax ~ 3).

Weaknesses:

Grain and sharpness could not meet Kodak's or Fuji's current level.

Review 3 of 8

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

I like this film for general outdoor photography. The colours are life-like and natural, contrast range good and this film produces very good results even in mixed and hars light conditions. This film captures the scene as my eyes saw it. It's very close to the pro RSX 100 in it's overall character, but slightly warm. This is a great all-round film.

Strengths:

Natural, neutral colour rendition High sharpness Works well even in mixed lightning All-round film, great for both landscapes and portraits

Weaknesses:

Slightly warm

Review 4 of 8

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

it has a very balanced grey - even in the brightest red. colours are dull. i only exposed it at ISO 100, which meant i was at least 1/3 under maybe even half. it also is pretty grainy. i don't know about the sharpness, but i doesn't seem extraordinarily sharp to me (only used a 5x loupe, though) if somebody's going for the look fine, but definitely a bad overall film.

Strengths:

probably nice if you really want a desaturated look, maybe people in the studio or i don't know...

Weaknesses:

saturation, grain,

Review 5 of 8

Price Paid: $5.00 from Christchurch

Summary:

If you are tempted to try this film - go for it! I suspect one reason there are few reviews is because Agfa seems to be relatively scarce in the US, although it is in Europe and here in New Zealand, where incidentally it's great value. Also, people may not rate it as highly because they are used to more vivid slide films. I like its neutral colour palette and find it is quite brilliant enough - particularly when we visited Greece, or here in NZ where our light is already very bright and contrasty. It's fine in all light conditions though, except fluoro or excessive tungsten where you need flash anyway. Like any slide film, exposure needs to be bang on.

Strengths:

Accurate colour rendition as opposed to over-the-top poster colours.

Weaknesses:

Can't think of any really.

Similar Products Used:

Lots of slide films from Agfa, Fuji, and Kodak.

Customer Service:
