Agfa 200 Expired

Agfa's old consumer color film. This roll is expired, which is the whole story now. Expect faded colors and a mind of its own.

How it behaves

This stock is discontinued, so every roll is old. Overexpose by a stop or two to fight the fog. A standard starting point is about one stop per decade past expiry. Results depend on age and storage, so buy cold-stored when possible. Fresh, it was a classic Agfa consumer color negative with warm, natural European color and smooth grain. Expired, expect soft contrast, color shifts, and fog. The Agfa name covered several ISO 200 variants, including Agfacolor 200, HDC 200, and Vista 200. Treat listings as generic Agfa consumer 200.
