AgfaPhoto is the film photography spin-off of the much-bigger German corporation Agfa-Gevaert. It's film heritage stretches back to 1964 when it began producing B&W films aimed at the consumer market but was set up as a separate organisation in 2004 to allow the parent company to focus on other industries. Much smaller now than it's heyday in the 80s and 90s, Agfa is known for film that is affordable and reliable - and had a passionate following in Poundland until recently.

First time I've used this purely out of curiosity. I shot it at box speed on my Olympus OM2N Good price. Good smooth tonal graduation. Slightly more grain and less contrast than what I am used to but I like it. It's sharp and crisp. I dont do my own developing so cant help there but I do make my own prints and it may be worth noting the image here has undergone some dodging and burning.
I bought this film to try during my walks around our local woods. Pushed it to ISO800 as it was quite shady under the canopy. and I'm really pleased with the results. I was expecting it to be much grainer than it turned out to be. Home developed in Cinestill's DF96 Monobath (29*C with intermittent agitation). Scanned on an Epson V800 and then a small amount of editing in LR. Definitely worth trying out and it won't break the bank while you're doing it.
for the price it's a very good allrounder , think of it as a slightly less versatile but lower contrast hp5. Results were a little high grain in places however
Was bought in order to test black and white films I hadn’t used before and to start home developing. I was surprised by how good the film is for the price. It has a fine grain with a good range of tone although it seems to lean towards overall darker images. Works well for a variety of situations and lighting. These were developed at home with Ilfosol3 at 1+9 dilution and scanned on an Epson V370 and I was impressed with how well my images came out. Definitely a brilliant alternative to more expensive films such as Tmax or Tri-x
Very low contrast at box speed - retains high
Ights very well though. I like this shot between 800-1200 And developed for 1600 in Xtol. That’s really my go to daily shooting approach and this holds up to those demands.
