Subject: [Leica] Agfa Emulsion

Hi All,

I've just been having a look through some old contact sheets and have been
surprised by a set which were shot with Agfa XRG 100 colour film. Does
anyone know if Agfa is still producing this film? I've checked around a
little, but can't find it.

Take care,
Gary

"Now, given that kind of time span, it's just not easy to think of Ned Lud as a
technophobic crazy. No doubt what people admired and mythologized him for
was the
vigor and single- mindedness of his assault. But the words "fit of insane
rage" are
third-hand and at least 68 years after the event. And Ned Lud's anger was
not directed at the machines, not exactly. I like to think of it more as
the controlled, martial-arts type anger of the dedicated Badass."
