Hi Albano & Dave, I shot 4 rolls of AP 160 at the rated speed with my then pinholed GS645. The ones that turned out, had a nice and soft skintone reproduction. I didn't much cared about the (grainy, muddy) background. For portraits I liked it better than the NPS, but not as much as the NPC.
A couple of weeks ago I shot 2 rolls of NPH 220 with my 690 Texas Leica. I found it's performance every bit as good as the Agfa for portraits, with the speed advantage (400 vs. 160). HTH, Jeff. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 9:46 AM Subject: RE: Agfa Portrait 160 XPS > Ooo.. > I'd be interested too Albano as I've got a roll of 120 itching to be put > into my MF camera. > > I know Jeff in Toronto here has used this film in the past (and I've seen > the results - outstanding!) so I think he'll be one of the people with > input on it. > > Oh Jeff ? :-) > > Cheers, > Dave > > Original Message: > ----------------- > From: Albano Garcia [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 06:37:05 -0800 (PST) > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Agfa Portrait 160 XPS > > > I know we have some Agfa fans in the list (I'm between > them). > I've bought two rolls of this film in 120 format to > try it. > I wanted to know what EI do you suggest, 160, 125 or > 100?
