AGFA-GEVAERT, Agfa Gevapan 36, Reversal Film 880

[Benjamin Bosko]

Hi, I found someone on ebay selling a bunch of this Agfa Gevapan 36 Reversal Film 880 from AGFA-GEVAERT. I was wondering if this would be able to be processed E-6.  I'm not positive but I think it's from the late 70's early 80's. The fifth edition of the American Cinematographer Manual from 1980 has a listing for the stock.  I'm interested in 16mm reversal stocks and I happened to find this, but I was hoping that someone on here might know a little about it and if it was worth trying.

Gevapan is B&W film, not suitable at all for E6.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'm new to shooting film, and I was just looking around for some different 16mm reversal stocks. Couldn't find any info on this stock that clearly stated if it was color or b/w. Thanks again.

Stocks with the suffix "pan" (short for panchromatic, referring to the sensitivity to colour) are always B/W.
