AGFA Vista 200, expired film photography - Ep. 3

Instagram: angelo_mpdc   / the_spirit_of_film   Hello guys, welcome back to the channel. This episode is called “Expired AGFA Vista 200 – A German story with Japanese accent”. Today we have something very special. After two episodes of shooting fresh Portra and fresh Tri-X, we will shoot a roll of expired AGFA Vista 200, AKA Poundland film. This film was expired in June 2005, so that’s 13 years ago. Everyone refers to AGFA as a German company, but it is in fact a Belgian-German company and the headquarters are actually in Mortsel, Belgium. It was founded in 1867 in Berlin under the name Aktiengesellschaft für Anilinfabrikation, later in 1894 was renamed to Gevaert & Co., the AGFA brand appears for the first time in 1897 and it stands for the original name of the company (A)ktien(G)esellschaft (F)ür (A)nilinfabrikation (sorry to the Germanic people that might be hearing me) and in 1964 was again renamed to AGFA-Gevaert. In 2004, the division for the consumer imaging was sold and the AGFAPhoto GmbH was born, but unfortunately it did not live long as it filed for bankruptcy in less than a year. Today a company named AGFAPhoto Holding GmbH licences the AGFA brands. AGFA Vista was introduced in 2001 to replace AGFAColor HDC+ films and it was available in ISO 100, 200, 400 and 800. It was considered a consumer level general purpose colour film, with fine grain which incorporated the Eye Vision Technology from Professional Optima films. In 2005 all Vista films were discontinued and this is where things get interesting. Everyone considers Vista to be Fujifilm, but that’s is not entirely true, indeed Fuji produced Vista later on, but the first version was produced by AGFA in Germany. With the exception of ISO 800, that was discontinued for good, all the other speeds returned under the name AGFAphoto Vista and the ISO 200 was even introduced in 110 format. These films were still considered consumer level films and they were produced by Ferrania in Leverkussen and were based on Solaris films formulas. With the exception of the AGFAphoto Vista 100, which I could not find what happened to it, the other two films were discontinued in 2009 and were replaced by AGFA Vista Plus, these two indeed produced by Fujifilm until 2018. If you have any information about what happened to AGFAphoto vista 100, please leave a comment. I would love to know what happened it. It is also important to remember that this episode is about AGFA Vista 200, the original AGFA Vista film produced by AGFA-Gevaert in Germany. This will not be a super guide into shooting and developing expired film, but I will leave here the basic notions and guidelines that in my opinion really matter to shoot expired negative films. • 1 stop over-expose per decade expired; • Develop normally; • Do not push!!! Do not pull!!! If you already compensated during exposure, you don’t need to. This are my rules, with which I think I achieve great results, many people follow different ideas and too get great results. What is important to understand before shooting expired film? Well, first and foremost, it is important to understand that shooting expired film will give you a unique result because different formulas stand time in different ways, the same films with the same formulas, when shoot expired, will have been expired for different periods of time and possibly the most important is storage. The way someone storages film will influence the final result. How? Well, film is quite sensitive to heat, low temperatures, lets say you store your film in a freezer at -20º C, that will conserve the film. High temperatures will degrade your film. What are the effects on the image when using expired film? Well, the main consequences are: • Variation of contrast; • Variation of the colour’s intensity; • Colour shifting; • More grain; • Fog. But all this depends on the film, the process, the storage conditions, how long it has been expired, if it’s a colour film or a black and white film, so shooting expired film is fun, it has unexpectable results, but they be amazing. I linked some pages on the description section, that might give you a deeper insight on this issue if you are interested in trying to shoot expired film.
