Question on Polaroid 35mm Film Made by Agfa
I like Agfa consumer 35mm film, but it is hard to find in stores
around me - even most camera stores, and I don't use a quantity sufficient to justify paying for shipping. The local Wal-Mart now has Polaroid brand 800 35mm film, which the box notes is made by Agfa. Can I assume this is the same Agfa film, i.e., of the most updated and same quality, as that contained in Agfa's own boxes? Thanks |

Thanks I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that several "house brands" are actually Agfa. Walgreen's house brand is one of these that's pretty common in the US, but I've also seen rebadged Agfa film delivered by some mail-order photofinishers, such as Mystic Color (before they were taken over by Clark/York, but I think that outfit also delivers rebadged Agfa). In the past, these rebadged Agfa films used to be equivalent to Agfa HDC, when that was current. I haven't looked into precisely what Agfa product is their current equivalent, though. -- Rod Smith, http://www.rodsbooks.com Author of books on Linux, FreeBSD, and networking |
