Arista II film?

Stephanie Brim · Sep 6, 2006

I see that this film is made in Germany...by who? I'm curious as to whether or not the 400 is good or not.

Stephanie,
Yes the Arista II is rebranded Agfa APX film. I asked Freestyle about it and that is what they told me.

A second source/opinion is listed here

I get good results exposing the 400 film at 800 on cloudy to cloudy bright days and souping in diafine 3+3

Great! Now if only I can find someone with a decent bulk loader...I think my Watson is missing the felt.

I haven't had a Watson loader for many years but I don't remember it having any felt. It relied on baffles for light proofing.

Stephanie,
ElrodCod is correct; the Watsons use a baffle, so don't be hunting for felt!

Awesome...then I have a working bulk loader.

Hrm. I'm going to have to get ahold of Freestyle to see if they'll take a money order from me.

Stephanie,

When you come Iowa City to get the enlarger I will give you a bulk loader if you want it. I have 3 of them I do not use.
