Strength:

very natural color rendition and very clean whites. exposure very close to what the Eye sees.
supr shap and super fine grained

Weakness:

hard to find. have to take to an up-scale lab.
flat light = flat images.
not real forgiving

The film prefoms at its best during "golden Light," simply beautiful.
enlarges with little increase in grain.
I mentioned that the film is not forgiving, but the rewards of nailing the shot produces the best possible images you can get on print film (C-41).

Strength:

Fine grain.

Weakness:

Green and red are not realistic.Green turns out too cold.(Printed at PRO-AGFA lab! )

I use REALA for 90 % of my work and I must say that OPTIMA PRESTIGE II 100 has a fine grain.
The colours are NOT as realistic as REALA and you
will not get good results in mixed light.

This film will satisfy photographers who likes a little more saturated colors than REALA but don´t
need perfect colours.

It is better than any ISO 100 Kodak I ever tried
but it can´t keep up with REALA.

I personally ( after using REALA , AGAIN !)would never use it for weddings.

Sorry for comparing it to REALA but simply there is no other print film that is as terrific as REALA.
If you haven´t tried it yet..JUST DO IT !

Regards Patrik

Model Reviewed: Agfacolor Optima II Prestige 100 ASA

Strength:

The film renders colors perfectly and has very (very) fine grain; makes me feel great every time I see the results. My #1 choice for all but landscapes in the 100 speed range.

Weakness:

The only problem I have experienced is finding it in quantities... then, I am currently out of the States and this may be a factor.

I love this film. If I could choose only one, this would be it.

Fuji Reala, but, I find Agfa OptII to have finer grain and it performs as well under the mixed lighting conditions that

Model Reviewed: Agfacolor Optima II Prestige 100 ASA

Strength:

Highest resolution, sharpness, and contrast I have ever seen in a 100-speed film. Zero grain. True color (neither restrained nor highly saturated- just right on the money). Wide exposure latitude.

Weakness:

Between the film's high contrast, my Zeiss optics, and printing on professional paper, images of people were completely unforgiving (blemishes, wrinkles, etc.).

Perfect for all but human subjects. This film should get more play than it does; the performance is incredible.
