larrydressler Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Sorry to inform you but Agfa is in the process of stoping production of all film larger than 35mm. I contacted Agfa today and got this reply. Subj: Re: agfaphoto-067544 WWW-request (agfanet) Date: 8/26/2005 6:33:15 PM Central Daylight Time From: agfa@ezaccess.net (John Auer, AgfaPhoto USA Corp.) Reply-to: agfa@ezaccess.net (John Auer, AgfaPhoto USA Corp.) To: inetjoker@myispincertedhere.OHBOY Dear Larry, Thank you for contacting AgfaPhoto USA. Indeed it is true, AgfaPhoto is in the process of phasing out all 120 and 220 format films worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 And the latest BJ of Photo from the UK confirmed it, plus stock of everything but two items is already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_f._stein Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Sad. Sad. Sad. Agfapan 120 400 speed is one of my favorites. We really are on a slippery downward slope .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I'll miss the affordable slide film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre_reinders Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I have been buying recently expired Agfachome RSX II 100 for $2.99 CAD at my local camera store - I think they have a couple of rolls left. That is too bad because their print and slide film is the cheapest around - and I am on a budget! I think it is called Optima? I saw Adorama listed a fuji superia iso 100 in 120 format as their least expensive MF film, but they were backordered, and I can't get it locally. :( What am I going to buy for cheap MF film? Help!

mikeivnitsky Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I know a guy around here who sells me agfa 100 expired for a dollar and a half a roll(very cheap for Israel)and he has a wole freezer of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustys pics Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You can still get cheap 120 B&W film. Freestyle sells Arista (fomapan) at great prices. JandC sells Efke 100 and Classic Pan (house brand foma?) for very low prices. In Europe you can order the same stuff at fotoimpex.de.I'll miss agfapan too, but the Efke and FOMA films are excellent replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
