""I've been using it ever since I discovered it was Agfa, which was just after they started selling it. Excellent film.""

As I noted in another thread, I picked up some film at a dollar store for 3 for $1 which turned out to be Agfa 100. I 've been shooting it ever since.
However when I brought a roll to an Eckerd One Hour lab the other day they refused to develop it because they said they didn't know if it was C-41. The usual photo store on my way to work doesn't have a problem with it.
Are there markings on a film cassette that have to be there for these automated machines in the drug stores?

I have decided to give the rebranded Agfa film a second chance. I had abysmal results with some supposedly-Agfa Walgreens brand 800 film last spring, but everybody here seems to swear by it, at least the lower speed versions of it. So I picked up a singular roll of 200 speed Polaroid brand film at Wally World (they tell me it's the rebranded Agfa) and I'm gonna give it a shot, so to speak, including reshooting a few things I have good shots of already.
Oh, Jon, this says "Process C41" right on the can.
We shall see ... film at 11.

I shoot quite a bit of Fuji for landscapes but when I shoot people I usually go back to Kodak Gold 200 because the color (In my eye) is more natural. Probably a generational thing. I also like standard Portra for people. The super saturated films seem like they are designed to make your film camera perform like a mid range digital--blues skies that are too blue and reds that are too red. I think the standard Kodak color negative films are the most neutral.
