Re: [APML] 120 films........Agfa 400

["Volker Wendel" <volker@spiegelteam.de>]

Hi Bobby,

Philipp Keller made some pictures with hypered Agfa 400 which I scanned last
year. The film has a very good blue response and seems to be great when
added to E200 slides, but the red response of the Agfa itself is very poor.
Take a look at Philipps galery:

Take a look at the horsehead and the M42 images: both show red very poor,
but blue dominates extremly.
