Has Agfa stock ever faded as of yet on Super 8, and if so, what is the color fade like? I know that earlier Fuji fades in a purplish sort of way, and we all know the eastman fade. I have one stock that is going orangish? Is that Agfa? (as I don't see any markings on it.

Osi, I have not seen fade on any Agfa super8 stocks and I'm not aware of it on 16mm but some have said that it does fade.

One film stock that I have seen go to Orange is the Italian 3M print film and this doesnt always have any edge signing.

I`ve had agfa from about 1975 acetate that is fading, ie going less vivid washing out slightly but still very good, it doesn`t have a coloured twang as such but some colours seem to hold on better, saying that most is OK.
Best Mark.
PS please bear with me Kev.
PS Fuji pre about 80 definately can go but some does stay nice and strong.
On super 8 waltons hold out for an agfa if you can.Though odd agfas can be a bit grainy, some better and very nice.
