Strength:
A good, solid, totally reliable medium speed film. Full tonal scale, reasonably fine grain (not spectacular), great combination with Rodinal for development expansion and contraction. Inexpensive. Available in Minox size.
Weakness:
Not an especially high degree of enlargement possible without quality compromise. A great film, but not as good as Ilford FP4+. Similar Products Used: Ilford FP4+, Kodak TMAX100, Ilford Delta100. |

Strength:
Fine grain, very sharp (with Rodinal dev), good latitude, great contrast. Inexpensive
Weakness:
Many stores don't carry it. I keep going back to this film! I try other films to see if I'm missing anything. (I'm not). I love the way it looks. I shoot it in 120 size so enlargements are not a problem. When used with Agfa Rodinal developer its an unbeatable combination. Sharp and great contrast. Customer Service never need it Similar Products Used: Ilford FP4, Kodak Tmax 100, Plus X |

Strength:
Fine Grain, low Price
Weakness:
Not too contrast, not too sharp As far as I can tell it has a fine grain, but I thought that It wasnt as contrasty as Ilford and the pics I got where not as sharp as I thought they would be.Since I also paid the camera shop 13.50 to develope I hope it wasn't the way it was developed that I got these results Customer Service never had to use Similar Products Used: T-Max,Ilford and other brands |

Strength:
there is no better or for that matter anything which comes close to tonal rendition for b&w film. It's cheap, has fine grain and simply "rocks my world".
Weakness:
none. Used with the worlds oldest developer (manufactured) Rodinol I find gives the best combination in terms of tonal range and the rest (acutence, grain...). I know this sounds like an ad but it truely doesn't get much better than this. Customer Service excellent. Similar Products Used: Fuji Neopan 1600 400, Tmax 100 400, Ilford HP5 FP4, Agfa 25, 400 |

Agfapan APX 100 ASA B&W
Strength:
A wonderful old emulsion! Excellent exposure latitude, high sharpness, medium contrast, very smooth gradation. Better grain (at least in D-76) than comparable "old tech" films of 100/125 speed. Particularly well suited to portraiture: Caucasian skintones "glow" in a way I've never seen in other films.
Weakness:
Nope. Much as I love Plus-X, this is the very best of the old-school emulsions. Great stuff! Customer Service Never dealt with them, but I like their website. Similar Products Used: All of them - Plus-X, FP4 Plus, and "new tech" emulsions like T-Max 100 and Ilford Delta 100. |

Strength:
Excellent control. You get what you expect.
Weakness:
No Agfa film with Agfa paper can't be beat. Plus its not as expensive as some. Much better then Ilford film, which has much less contrast. Agfa film has the clearest negatives out of the three brands I've tried. Customer Service never had to talk to Agfa Similar Products Used: Kodak B+W |
