The site was updated recently. I thought Agfa had gone bankrupt or something like that. No more Brovira, Record Rapid, Rodinal etc.

Just order a square kilometer something in S8 and see how much you can sell.

Unfortunately Agfa are no longer coating. A few of the famous products like Rodinal and Neutol have continued production by another company, which is nice.

If someone wants something coated approach Ilford - they are a very helpful and open company under the new management and I know they coat a lot on contract for others.

You would probably need a substantial order though!

Hi,
I think maybe you have got the German company AgfaPhoto mixed up with the Belgian Agfa-Gevaert. The first is no longer in business and sold stills film whilst the second is still very much in business and is offering motion picture products in its line-up. HOWEVER, these are PRINT FILMS only, such as Agfa Print CP 30 and Agfa Sound ST8.D. They don't make camera stock any more.
The two companies were connected however.
Think that makes sense!
They do say they have special coating facilities for smaller runs and prototyping, so maybe if you had a big enough order!

Cheers,

Ben
