Review 1 of 6

Price Paid:  $1.00 from Walmart

Summary:

For $1 a roll, I'm extremely impressed with this film. Its the absolute best consumer grade 35mm film I've ever shot. It has very fine grain and pushes to 800iso very well. And it stores for a very long duration. It scans very well, and holds color better than kodak gold 400 or 800 of its same age when its pushed to the same speeds. It also scans very well, and odd color casts are easily corrected. Sadly however I found out it is no longer produced :(

Strengths:

Its very very cheap. It has very fine grain. It can be push processed to 400 and 800 with hardly any noticeable grain increase.

Weaknesses:

It still doesn't compare to a quality professional film such as NPS160 with skin tones or whites. It seems to hold a strong yellow cast after years of storage.

Similar Products Used:

Compared to Kodak Gold Series and Fuji Superia Film, for the price I'd recommend this film over both.

Customer Service:

It was purchased at walmart, and we all know how excellent walmarts customer service is compared to anything shy of a small mom and pop store. If you don't like it, take it back...

Review 2 of 6

Price Paid:  $4.00 from Wal-Mart

Summary:

I bought a 4 roll of this at Wal-Mart and the quality is outstanding. I just couldn't believe how good this film was at such a low price! Unbelievable! Great Color, smooth tones and excellent for professional photography! Hands down above the other brands! Agfa is now making a very high quality Polaroid Item!

Strengths:

Excellent color, smooth tones, no grain! I read where this film won awards and I now see why!

Weaknesses:

You can only buy it at Wal-Mart that I have found so far.

Review 5 of 6

Summary:

Got a bag of rolls of this film for free from a store that had a out of date rolls in stock. So it has kind of been my practicing film.

I've found it easy to take nice pictures of people with this film. It does not compete with the professional films when it comes to natural skin colors and grain. But the faces tend to come out well modelled and alive when I shoot in window light.

Results are much better than I expected.

Strengths:

Good skin tones, perhaps a bit on the vivid side, but depending on taste, this may be seen as an advantage. The faces become alive. The high contrast helps modeling the facial features.

Weaknesses:

Grainy if enlarged.

Similar Products Used:

Superia, NPH, Portra NC 160...
