Grainy Dull Colours

Just a really really horrible film. I strongly recommend spending the extra few cents/dollars on a much better film. Even for snapshots, the film just doesnt cut it. Enlarged to 8x10 the grain is similar to a bad 800 film, and grain is even noticable in 4x6 proofs, enough to have made me question my focus before my film. Even on 200 ISO the grain is unacceptable. Especially for important work, dont throw the time and money away on this film.

None, and hopefully never again.

It costs $1 per roll.

It SUCKS, and, if you want cheap film, you can get Walgreens Studio 35 for only about $1.50 per roll which rocks. Or just get a Fuji consumer grade film for like $2 per roll...ANYTHING is better than this crappy film.

Okay, so I have tried Walgreen's Studio 35 which is actually Agfa Vista, and I loved it. So I bought a box of this thinking that it would also be Agfa Vista. It says made by Agfa on the box. However this must be an older/different color emulsion by Agfa because it SUCKS. I think Walmart also carries a film by the name of Polaroid One Film, which I've heard is Agfa Vista. In any case, this stuff SUCKS -- it's very grainy, horrible colors (and I was printing it myself so I can't blame the lab). I wouldn't even use this for snapshots.

Excellent Color, Smooth Tones and No Grain!

You can only find it at Wal-Mart, although that's not a weakness because the pricing is so low!

I've been reading that this film is now made by Agfa and you can really tell a difference!!! Very low prices at Wal-Mart and excellent film! Colors were very bright and vivid, smooth tones and the pictures contained no grain! This film beats Fuji and Kodak by a long shot and you can't beat the price! I recommend it to anyone in the professional business!

Beautiful colours without being too saturated.

Slight grain but nowhere as bad as Kodak Max used to be. Seems to look much better on matte prints than glossy... but that may just be my preference.

I've been using this film consistently with my pentax p&s for the past 3 years preferring it over Kodak Max 400 cause it was dirt cheap ($6 for a four pack) and yet better. Colours are beautiful but not too saturated making skin tones just right... Not much difference between Kodak and Fuji paper. I know the film is made by Agfa but I've never noticed a change in this Polaroid HD even though I know Agfa has made several improvements in their consumer film line. I'm thinking of switching over to Fuji Superia X-Tra or the new Kodak High Definition but I dunno if there would be that much increase in quality to justify the considerate increase in price.

Grainy Weird, unpredictable color casts Inconsistency from roll to roll

I bought a 4-pack of this film for $7. I figured I ought to give it a try; at least I wouldn't have wasted much money if it turned out to be horrible. Well, it DID turn out to be horrible. The first two rolls had a very noticable, very annoying yellow cast. They were dark and grainy and utterly terrible. The second two rolls had a strong magenta cast, and were equally displeasing. Not only does this film stink, but it's inconsistent. It may be made by Agfa, but that doesn't mean it's a good film!

A bit more grainy that the Fuji X-Tra 400 but probably in line with the others in it's class as Fuji films seem to have finer grain than most.

I went back and closely compared prints from this film with Fuji Superia X-Tra 400. While the colors are very nice for this film I will admit that it is a bit grainier than the Fuji. Still it is a good bargain and good enough for general every day use and for 4"x6" prints. I think Fuji's colors are more saturated and has a finer grain. I always keep coming back to Fuji. What can I say they make great products. Next I want to try the Konica Centuria 400 and see how it compares with these.

Price. Very colorful.

More grain than fuji though.

Bought a pack after reading that this film is agfa color vista. A very colorful film. Shot a role with no flash in my living room in the afternoon.This film did a better job of capturing my daughters blue eyes, than fuji 400. Flesh tones are very nice too. Shot on rebel 2000 with 50m 1.8 lense.

Not a consistent film. Nothing special about the colors.

I received a four pack of this film for Christmas. The first roll I shot gave very good results. I had 8X10"s made of some of the prints and gave them as gifts. The next three rolls out of the same package, gave mediocre results. I was disappointed in the inconsistentcy.

Very reasonably priced and performs as well as the Fuji Superia's at the corresponding ISO numbers.

I don't understand why this film has not received the equivalent reviews that the Agfa Colorvista 400 has. The film itseld is made by Agfa corporation and more to the point Agfa's customer support explained to me via email that all these films are in fact Agfa Colorvista films only packaged by Walmart. The chemistry and all the technology is the same as the Agfa Colorvista the only difference is the packaging. If you don't believe me read the label on the package at your local Walmart. In fact I have one here beside and it reads "Distributed and sold by Agfa Corporation. Packaged in the USA from film made in Germany. Agfa is a registered trademark of Agfa-Gavaert AG, Leverkusen, Germany.

$2 for 24 exp at the Dollar General Store. At this price, I can afford to take more bad shots. Nice color outside and works well with indoor flash.

Gloss finish prints not as nice as matte.

In my opinion, the Polaroid 400 print film is great for casual everyday photography. I have used it outside and in, with the same satisfaction in definition and bright colors. My camera seems to like the film more than any Kodak or Fuji used to date. I am using a Pentax ZX-30. All pictures developed using matte finish.
