Actually now that Agfa color negative film is mentioned...

I really enjoyed the daylight color rendition of Agfa Vista 200. And
especially the color rendition during sunset.

However, scanning proved somewhat problematic: There were huge
roundish pale areas at the bottom and top of the frame, apparently at
the same spot as the perforations but in the image area (hard to
explain without an example; the only vista 200 scanned images I have
on the web were tediously photoshopped to correct for this error..)
This problem appeared with both Canoscan 8400F and K-M 5400 II - and,
digital prints made at the developing lab did not exhibit this
problem.  Whatever the problem was, I gave the last 3 rolls away to a
friend because I couldn't figure out how to scan them without these
problems.


Another strange Agfa thing is that I had a roll of "XRG 200", which
was color negative film. The colors are a bit strange and the film
doesn't look too sharp. However the really strange thing is that
everywhere else XRG 200 is listed as a color slide film! I swear mine
is color negative, complete with the orange mask and all.
