Sorry, you are wrong. But this is how the #@$%& jerks suck people in. They
used to package movie film which requires a pre-process step to eliminate
an anti-halation backing which, if dumped into c41 developer would cause
gunk to deposit on other film. Bad news. They are exploiting the fear of
lab managers who don't realize that the film they are presently spooling is
actually a c41 process film, manufactured by Agfa, in fact. Find a lab that
will process the film before you expose anything important on it. Otherwise
throw it out. Don't pay SFW anything for promoting this scam.
