Where to buy the old classics: Agfachrome, RSX, etfc

[pixelatedscraps]

So I've tried looking on The 'Bay, but I can't seem to find any Agfachrome anywhere, nor RSX. There are a couple of Ultras floating about, but I'm wondering where everyone buys their favorite discontinued film from.

Are there film-specific forums like RFF, etc or sites which sell only film?

Try http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php the home of the massive dev chart. Otherwise if you are in Europe I have a few more references for you, whereas those on the other side of the pond, or Aisa, or Oz would have different recommendations.

Cheers,
Rob

Agfachrome RSX II 200 still available new

Agfachrome RSX II 200 still available new

Hi,

at least the original Agfachrome RSX II 200 emulsion is still in production at Agfa-Gevaert in Belgium. It is their Aviphot Chrome 200 film.
Only difference is the base, it is now PET, but the emulsion is Agfachrome RSX II 200.
This film is sold to photographers as

- Rollei CR 200 slide film (135, 120)
- Rollei Crossbird (135, 127, 120)
- Lomography Xpro 200 (135, 120).

Due to my experience it is by far the worst slide film on the market: Extreme yellow cast, very grainy, significantly lower resolution compared to Kodak E200 and Elitechrome 200, Fuji Sensia 200 and 400, Provia 400X.
The Kodak and Fuji alternatives are much, much better.

Cheers, Jan
