AGFA Process 70
April 18, 2020 In Films 1 Comment

Let’s mention here AGFA Process 70. Belgian and German, AGFA was the taste of a chocolate chewing while driving a convertible Porsche to Cannes film festival. 

This is basically C-41, with the same temperatures and development times. C-41 was commercialized with different abbreviations by the manufacturers — CN-16 by Fuji, AP-70 by AGFA or CNK-4 … Read the rest

February 17, 2020 In Films 2 Comments

About 30 or 40 years ago, if you had no access to Kodak or Ilford b&w film, but really insisted on fine grain, contrast photos, you would probably be inserting some ORWO NP-15 into your camera. That is also very likely, if you were inhabiting a territory in a Soviet bloc, like Deutsche Demokratische Republik … Read the rest

Some time ago I was talking about Agfa Process 41 in a post here. As you may read in the article, AP 41 is similar to ORWO C-9165 process (more about it here) and I made a few experiments with various films, most of them not exactly compatible with this mode of development.… Read the rest

ORWO Chrom UT-18 revisited
May 1, 2019 In Films 35 Comments

This post on ORWO UT-18 color reversal film was the first one on this blog. And the first “readable” image I proudly produced and shared here was this:
