Thanks for that tip. I have a 36 exp Agfa Vista which arrived this morning and the number under the bar code is the same as you quoted and is as you say made by Fuji as their Fujicolour 200. The stuff that comes from Pound land is numbered 306253 which is the same film but for 24 exp cassettes. So Fuji film it is. Fine so long as it is fresh stock. Incidentally The stuff I used over the weekend was accidentally exposed at 100 ISO for the first 8 exposures until I noticed my error (non DX manual Minolta XE1). I changed the ISO to 200 and the exposures were from then on....shall we say a bit on the thin side. The colour saturation is a lot better too and not so grainy |

Looks like I need to take my comments back. The stuff is still called Agfa Vista despite it being Fuji so the the German lawyers are impotent in the U.K.
Just goes to show that we are in the EU but not controlled by the EU. David Cameron will be incorporating this example in his PM's questions tomorrow while taking a picture of Jeremy Corbyn from across the floor. Mike |

The film called Agfa Vista+ has a printed Agfa cassette. The film called Agfa Vista (no +) has the generic purple cassette. I suspect the difference is down to Lupus not buying a sufficiently large enough batch to get the cassettes specially printed - cardboard boxes are much cheaper to print and probably printed in Germany.
