Agfa and Konica films - most missed?
The only one I think was unique was Konica's Impresa 50. Ironically it
looks like Konica's product has dried up quicker than Agfa's, even though they claimed they'd be making film for another year. |

I never used APX 25, nor APX 100, and I am relieved that I didn't, given the number of people who are extremely sad about their demise. Few emulsions have ever earned such loyalty. However, I was lucky to secure a large stock of Agfa APX 25 for resale shortly before it was discontinued, and it certainly sold very well. |

I've seen some outstanding work done with APX 25 in 35mm. As I said before, I am almost glad I never used it, because I would have missed it so much when Agfa went bust. |

I remember some rumblings about Ilford considering a slow, super-fine
grain emulsion that would ease some of the TechPan and APX angst. Has anyone heard anything lately? On Mon, 17 Apr 2006 01:34:15 -0400, Stacey wrote: APX-25 is what I miss and Konica IR. Craig Schroeder craig nospam craigschroeder com |

Peter It also seems that the curves published for Rollei Retro 100 and Retro 400 match the old AGFA APX100 and APX400. In fact, even the other specifications match the old AGFA emulsions. Apparently MACO are producing these for Rollei. Ciao! Gordon Moat A G Studio http://www.allgstudio.com |
