To some this may be Agfapan heaven to others its a load of B&W film in a box.
It really would be heaven if the 100 rolls of 120 Agfapan 400 was Agfapan 25 or 100. But the 400 is a very fine B&W, it has wonderful tones and really nice grain and is very sharp. I have found Agfapan 400 develops well in Aculux 2 and Rodinal special (for fine grain and good sharpness) If you want grain and good sharpness rate it at 200-320 asa and develop in Rodinal 1:50
Agfa B&W films are hugly underrated films and unfortunately are no longer manufacture after the Liquidation of Agfa Photo.
There is allot of 35mm Agfapan for sale with long self life. If you shoot B&W try this film and if you like it fill up your freezer with Agfapan 100.
Last week on ebay I saw 6 rolls of Agfapan 100 in 120 format go for £26. I got my 100 rolls of Agfapan form a Pro-photographer who had gone digital, the film in the photo has been frozen from new and has lost no emulsion speed and has no base fog.
Still puzzled about this film give it a go or look up Agfapan on Google.
