Agfa Ultra 100
Camera and Film FAQ

Agfa Ultra 100This stuff is fantastic. As far as I'm aware, Agfa Ultra 100 produces the most insanely saturated color images possible. It's not a great film for general use (skintones in particular are pretty unflattering), but there's no better option for creating images with deep, intense color and reasonably balanced saturation.

Here's an example: I used Ultra film in this gallery of snapshots taken with a Lomo Colorsplash camera. I used Agfa processing to develop the negs, and scanned them with an Imacon Flextight Precision II; I did basically no adjustments to the color, other than a little correction on some of the daylight shots.
