Thanks for taking the time to do that Excalibur, I see not much difference at all between sharpened and unsharpened. I wonder if there are rolls from different production lines, ie: C200 and Superior, making it into the Vista packaging, as your roll seems to have quite pronounced grain compared to mine. My rolls are all 24 shots and I am guessing it is different stock to the 36 shot rolls. |

Well I was wondering if Fuji had old film stock to get rid of and thought the "hope" on the plastic canister bottom might be a clue to it date. But for me this agfa is a problem on both scanners as for the easier 4180 scan I then found it difficult to change the yellow wheat to straw colour in Photoshop without upsetting all the other colours 
Anyway the next Agfa roll is going to Asda and I'll see from these extra results if Agfa is for me.

Using some of my favourite lenses, I have a further puzzle as a supermarket produced better results with dev and scan on another agfa film and eliminated the suspicion that the film is crap. Still to come are the same shots with Canon lenses on superia 200asa, but I'll give the thumbs up for this film at £1 a roll for 36exp and probably get about 30 rolls for testing lenses and backup when I can't use Reala or Superia

That's unbelievable! The difference is amazing.
ps: someone told me that Morrisons are selling "Fuji 400" at 99p! That was about a week ago, so may no longer be current. |

Handy to know thanks....but how can two scanners give crap results in the previous posts....well my first guess is: it must be old dev or fixer used at the shop and that confused both Epson scanners.

The Superior and the Vista aren't far apart in quality. Maybe there is a reason for that.  |

Well if any film user in any country can get Agfa vista 36 exp for £1, it's very good value.

I've just seen another clue about this Agfa film:- on the bottom of the plastic film container is stamped "hope" |
I had another, closer look at the bottom of the container and realised it said "HDPE". If you g**gle it like I did you might get a chuckle. |
