Rob Mentov Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I recently came across an old 400ft roll of 16mm Agfa XT320. I was wondering if anyone had a best guess at how many stops to overexpose this by, wasn't able to dig up an expiry date. This won't be shot for any commercial project, just experimental.

Rob Mentov Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Even in its heyday it looked best overexposed by a stop... Hmm, maybe 50ASA or 25ASA in that case? When did they stop manufacturing the stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 17, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted July 17, 2018 Around 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hmm, maybe 50ASA or 25ASA in that case? When did they stop manufacturing the stock? Didn't someone once say a stop a decade? Plus a stop for David, and you're about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted July 17, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah, about a stop per decade. But it's best to err on the overexposure side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
