Resurrection of some former Agfa products

[braxus]

Judging from that last response, I'll believe APX 25 when I see it.

How could I managed to miss this thread!

THis is great news, I love APX100, wonderful film. Mirko, best luck to you and your team. Looks like old agfa employee will have a better future.

PS. I'd like to see why so many people prize the MCC paper. Email sent.

Email sent. I could do some meaningful side-by-side tests with the Agfa MCC I have stockpiled in the beer fridge....

Hi all,

thanks again for all the feedback and support.
Every one who mailed up to now will receive samples.
I am not getting to answer every email individually because of another project which ties up my time but if you have sent an email you are in.
Please do not send PM´s as they are difficult for me to extract and save.
All emails sent to mccproject@fotoimpex.de are automatically stored and will be processed by my staff as soon as the test coating is done and cut.
I am also reading every single one after my staff has sorted out the spam.

We have to see how high postage costs will be (varies from country to country) but it may well be that our advertisement budget has room for some more stamps. So feel free to continue to add to the list.

Best regards and have a nice weekend,

Mirko

For those of us getting samples, will there be instructions on how to provide feedback?

[Jim Noel]

Thank you Mirko.

I wish all success to Fotoimpex people and to thank them for all their effort.

I won't apply for test samples because I don't think my knowledge is good enough to make relevant conclusions for other people, but that doesn't mean I won't be future user of those products if they are find out to be good

Thanks again to people at Fotoimpex,

Ofcourse there will be such !

We are currently working on a feedback form which will be included in the sample paper shippment and which is planned to be made available online as well.

If you have any suggestions beforehand e.g. what you prefered or disliked about the old paper, let us know so we can look into this.

Best regards,

Mirko

There's this thing now called World Wide Web...I understand that it can handle forms...

What we like about Agfa MCC 111:

-- The slightly warm emulsion tones in the midrange.

-- The inky blacks.

-- The range and smooth tone transitions in highlights and lighter midtones -- perfect for printing facial skintones in portraiture.

--The reliable consistency and quality of the emulsion.

-- It dries flat. (A HUGE plus for the paper.)

-- The color of the paper base. It would be okay if it were a bit whiter, but not so white as to verge on blue.

What we don't like:

-- The finish could be a little less glossy.

[Sorry, it's a short list of dislikes. :-) ]

No one has mentioned Agfa MCC 118. I LOVED this paper's color and emulsion, but never used it for one big reason: I hated the pebbly texture. If you could find a way to resurrect MCC 118 with a typical dull/gloss finish, I would buy thousands of sheets of the stuff.
