Re: [APML] Agfa Colour Optima 400

["Don Westergren" <westergren@netzero.net>]

George,

I tested Agfa Optima II 400 but didn't shoot the sky with it.  See my data
at http://home.nethere.net/mpd/FilmTestData/AgfaOII.htm

It isn't very good for astrophotography (reds) unhypered, about 2 stops down
from the old good PPF400.  Hypering can increase the reds about a stop,
making it acceptable, but hypering grossly increases green and blue
sensitivity, throwing color balance way off.

Clear Skies,
Don
