Yep good stuff, probably made by Fuji and could be their C200  but IMO shows more grain in e.g the sky ....but I haven't really compared it with Fuji Superia 200 yet to see the difference.
New Agfa Vista (made in Japan) from Poundland, Canon 28mm f2.8 lens, dev and scan at Asda with corrections in PS
Same as above but the operator using the scanner made this shot too vibrant IMO, but maybe some people will like it.
same above except lens changed and was testing a Rikenon 28mm f2.8

Indeed and no one can say for sure who makes it and why it is so cheap as after manufacture cost, supplier profit, retailer profit, tax and shipping etc the price is amazing at £1........The store used to sell Kodak color plus and Kodak Ultra max 400 (for £1), but I suppose with Kodak's problem and increased prices that dried up (but got a few Ultramax tho' for myself at the time).

Yeah I didn't like it but in saying that, on the right subject it was good. Maybe Agfa and colorplus wouldn't be e.g. suitable for portraiture?

That's an interesting view on neg film as you are an expert with excellent superior slide shots.

I have bought quite a supply of the Vista 200 from Poundland and have been very pleased with the results. My feeling is that it is better than Fuji C200 but not quite as good as Superior, so if it is made by Fuji, it is possibly an emulsion specific to third party "own Brand" labels (if Fuji do that).

Some good stuff there, but a bit overzealous with the USM I guess.
