Good Deal? - Freestyle has APX400 - 20 for $25

[gdi]

Is the Freestyle deal pretty good for 24exp.? That seems real cheap, but I am not familiar with APX400....

Yes that is a good deal. But see this thread on Agfa Apx and Rollei Retro.

Arista, Freestyle's brand is not confirmed to be the old Agfa APX whereas Rollei retro is. Arista MAY be from the same mother rolls, or it may be a re-formulation. From all I have read it IS processed just as if it were Agfa or Rollei. Probably a minor point, especially if you have used Arista and like it. I have not, so I am deducing from the thread above. I have not compared it to Agfa APX 400.

Man... I should move quickly. That's the ONLY film I really like to work with.

I also like Tri-X; it is sold as Arista Premium at the cost of $1.99 per 36 exp. roll.

Thanks for the links - Raid, is it proven that this film is Tri-x?

The new Freestyle catalog flat out says it's Agfa APX400.

I just picked up 20 rolls of the Arista II (Agfa APX 400) for $24.99 from Freestyle's Catalog Order Center in Santa Fe Springs. The place was a little hard to find but the people were very helpful.
