Thanks Bill for keeping the splendid list of films for
us for such a long time! Whoever photographs for a longer
time, will sure have his/her legacy on film, and we will
always return to the list as a reference!


Just to make it more precise:
Not the Agfa is dead! Agfa Film is dead, or rather AgfaPhoto,
the newly created split-off from Agfa. Agfa itself do well
without the now obsolete film division, although they still
do a few special films, such as the "fast processing" large
sheet newspaper film and special aerial imaging film with
suppressed high blue, violet and UV spectrum.

As we know Konika is go go away soon. I also downloaded
all sorts of *.pdf files from Konika-Minolta's site.

On the day the lights went on for good in AgfaPhoto's Leverkusen film
coating plant, local media reported that the last batch ever made was a
great big roll of aerial imaging film for AgfaGevaert that should keep
the Belgians going for another five years. The remaining divisions have
no film coating facilities.

I feel lucky that I got the Agfa A3 IT8 calibration target
from Wolf Faust, as well as the Agfa CT100 Precisa strip
from Colour Science! I made *.icc profiles from them and
I keep these targets in the freezer. We will not get another!

No, but you could get the better HCT target.

Color consultant Don Hutcheson designed and patented the HCT target which is
universally accepted by those doing commercial scanning as the best money
can buy. Visit his website at www.hutchcolor.com and have a look under HCT.
These are individually measured targets so each one comes with its own
unique values. They also are specially made and processed to extend to the
largest color gamut possible on film so that the full range of the scanner
isn't clipped by the profile.
