Agfa Vista 200 (True Agfa Film, Pre 2006)
Agfa Vista was dicontinued in 2018. It's history before that is quite complicated. From 2013 to 2018 most people say that Agfa Vista Plus is just Fujifilm C200. From around 2009 to 2013 the film was also made by Fujifilm but was a custom stock. Prior to that circa 2006 to 2009 the film was Ferrania stock and prior to 2005 it was actually made by Agfa!

What the film photography project has to say about this film: This is a super-fine grain film with really interesting colors. Originally produced as "internegative film" it was intended to be used in professional lab machines to make a negative from a slide so that prints could then be made from the negative. It is excellent for long, timed exposures using a tripod or for getting a shallow depth of field in bright sunlight. Take off that ND filter - with this film you can shoot at ƒ2.4 at 1/100 second during a sunny day at the beach! You Must have a camera that can either be set to ISO (ASA) 6 or one that allows manual exposure settings to use this film which has no DX code. Expired circa 2004 but frozen.
From the Film Photography Project: RetroChrome is government surplus High Speed Eastman Ektachrome 2253 color positive film. Made for industrial and governmental applications. The film was traced back to Tonopah Test Range (TTR) Tonopah NV – a restricted military installation located about 30 miles southeast of Tonopah NV, the test range is positioned about 70 miles northwest of Groom Dry Lake, the home of the Area 51 facility. Like the Groom Lake facility, Tonopah is a site of interest to conspiracy theorists, mostly for its use of experimental and classified aircraft.
