larrydressler Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 It is because of the real red color. it showed red as I saw it. not as the printer in the lab saw it but as it was. I know I will have arguments with this but I am standing by my film on this. Red is red and not anything else.

chris haake Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I loved this film, too. I still have two rolls left and will wait to shoot flowers with it. Maybe not the most accurate of films, but certainly striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juergenf Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I even liked their Vista 400 better than Kodak MAX 400 though I think Superia 400 is the best 400 speed consumer film around. Agfa 100 is/was great indeed. No more Agfa is too bad. I think I'll visit Germany in within a couple of weeks to get some of the last remaining stock, it's only a 200km 'round trip' by car from where I live so that's doable on a saturday.

larrydressler Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yes it will be missed. I am glad I have a freezer full of all types of Agfa Color. The Vista 800 is also/was a great film I think I have a dozen rolls of that left also. I need to get into my freezer and get it all in order. I tend to get rolls when I find them then throw them into a plastic bag then dump them in the freezer. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I just scored 13 rolls of RSX II for a buck a roll. Slam Dunk!!! Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_kinnan Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I second the praise for Vista 800! I once won a ten-pack of the stuff from AGFA, via one of their Web contests. Even more to their credit, it was ten 36exp rolls, too. It took me a little while to get used to the look of the film, but the cool, almost "cyber" look it had really won me over. Wish I had a little more money in the budget to buy up large quantities of remaining stock, but I don't, so I guess I'll just have to grab what I can. I was told by a salesperson there, that I did actually buy the last roll of AGFA Portrait 160 in 135 format that Samy's camera (in L.A.) will probably ever carry. Perhaps one day, the technology will allow the various looks of many of our favourite extinct films to be created in-camera via a button push or as a Photoshop plug-in... A.

gman Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I also miss Agfa films. For a few years I was using Vista 100, 200, 400 and 800. I was especially happy with Vista 100. I only tried Ultra a couple of times. Oh well... Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma181 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I don't know for how long, but you still can get Vista at Walgreens. They sell it as Studio 35, their house brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 I have noticed that their newer stock of house brand is reading. Made in Italy. and they have not had any 100 here locacly for a few months now. Larry<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
