Description
Agfaphoto APX 400 is rated ISO 400 but with the potential to be pushed to 1600 without a significant drop in quality.

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.

Amazing Film For Tricolour
I love this film, amazing grain, perfect for use with Tricolour process, very forgiving but not vague either
Returning to film photography after years, the price was attractive for a 'test roll' in my old OM4 Ti and I wasn't disappointed! Good tones throughout and very forgiving. I definitely need to brush up again on the basics, but this film has given me the confidence I need.

Pleasantly surprised
Really happy with the detail in the grain (small grain, not too much, perfect amount for that ‘film look’) and the contrast which gives photos a lot of depth. Shot in overcast but bright conditions and coped excellently.

Quality
This is quality black-and-white film roll. Trust worthy and reliable. You can comfortably play shadows with it while shooting it.
Ideal film roll to have on you whenever expecting on shooting inside or in the dark conditions. Didn't test enough with moving objects, but pleasantly surprised with the shooting range this film provides.

Great Film
Great black and white film. Sharp and layered with many shades of grey. Versatile, too. Excellent for vacation photos.

This was the first film I shot with a newly acquired Olympus Trip, so my somewhat mixed feelings about this film may be attributed in part to my inexperience with the camera. Very pleased with about half of the roll, disappointed with the rest. In the right lighting conditions, very nice contrast. Didn't do so well in bright sunlight, as you might expect from a relatively fast film. Overall, pleased enough to try the film again at some point soon!
Genuinely adore this. It gives a moody, atmospheric vibe that I love. The grain is subtle but not completely sterile. Lovely for architecture especially.
My first ever roll of film I shot on a Konica autoreflex t3 I inherited. I purchased this film as it was cheap and I wanted to test the camera (and myself) before purchasing anything else. I have been really pleased with how the photos came out, lovely grain and detail in the images and I would definitely consider purchasing again.

Variable results
I got quite a few disappointing or unremarkable results from this film, but I got some really stunning ones too.
I recently shot a roll of this film at ISO 800, but the development didn't turn out too great, so I thought I'd try a couple of tests to see if I could improve it. First up, HC110 dilution B for 11½ mins (Gnome and Washing Line) and second was 510 Pyro 1+100 for 15½ mins (Cow Parsley and House).
This film, especially when pushed, can be a bit "development fussy", but the 2 I have given above seem to do the job nicely....SORTED!
