Origin of Minox Minopan

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

I found our member borrel's that picture at the gallery taken by Minox B and Minopan 100 .

Link there was a url link here which no longer exists)

I am very impressed with the qualities of the Wetzlar lens , viewfinder performance and the film.

Who produces this film , what is the origin. I want very much to use that film on my Leica.

Thank you ,

Umut

Minopan 25, 100 andn 400 were (and still are) former APX 25 / 100 /400. They have huge and frozen stock.

I found a AGFA link with advertisements of that film. And I found a photonet link saying We have to send it to some specialized lab for development and it is a replacement for scala and a positive film.

Are they still manufacturing that film and is development story true. I think borrel used AGFA chemicals and followed that path. Which lab develops
that film in Europe ?

Thanks ,
Umut

I've seen early Minox films (up to maybe the 1970's) which carried the usual Agfa (and also, I think, Adox?) branding. I wondered if these were made and packed by Agfa themselves, or whether Minox filled the cassettes from bulk rolls.
