Elizabeth - AGFA Portrait160

Identical time/light/model to the shot just posted on Fui 400H. By comparison here's some 2004-era Agfa Portrait 160. Nice film, overall - normally avoid the hipster-expired film affectation like the plague, but this dropped into my lap and it turned out OK. Quality film is quality film, I guess.

Is this print for sale?
  1. Yes
I prefer the look of this film to the Fuji version; I also think this is a better picture as well.

Perhaps a bit too much magenta for my taste, but still very nice as shown.

Hi Colin,
Do you exposed it at the box speed ? I have a lot of stock of Agfa Portrait 160, probably one of the last batch, (around 2006), and I get good results with overexposing it a bit, at 100 or 125 ISO.
Nice and well done picture, by the way
Regards,

Raphael
 
Thanks Raphael, yes I exposed it at box speed and had it processed normally at a lab. I think we got the same batch of film, or close to it.
