Yes, Minopan 25 is Agfapan 25. But it is not a microfilm.

Although Agfa discontinued their Agfapan 25 film about two years ago, Minox
has a considerable stockpile and will probably continue offering Minopan 25
for years. It is processed in standard developers like Rodinal, D-76, etc.
It is not a substitute for Technical Pan since it is much grainier. Tech Pan
is, in essence, a microfilm, albiet a modified one, which is why it needs
special development.

Agfa will not re-commence making Agfapan 25. The best substitute for it is
Maco UP25

You are correct in all of the above information of course. I
have 20 rolls of 120 left and 2 children to shoot them on. IMO APX25
was simply the most beautiful film ever produced. I found Zone VI's PQ
developer to work great with it.

As far as Tech Pan, I really like the Formularies (Bill
Troops') TD-3 developer.
