Hi guys! I have not posted in a while, had so much to do and deal with i have not had much time to do much! I discovered from gaugefilm the following article (needs to be translated)

AGFA is filling the gap for a reversal stock, you can also find this on andec film website.
This is amazing news, leaving us with a choice of Fuji Velvia or the AGFA 160D that is upcoming. I always like AGFAs black and white materials, i cannot speak for their colour materials, their slide film (cr200) is quite grainy (35mm), but as this emulsion is 160ASA they are probably tweaking it a bit. The cost of black and white was increased as well, and my stock is depleted, and its not easy to obtain in the UK as present. A shame as i am going to london this weekend and would have loved to get black and white super 8 of the tube. It is also going to be available from ANDEC, as well.

They state it is 160ASA but from what i was told on APUG it is just notched as such.

This is good news for any super 8 shooters, including myself! There is light at the end of the tunnel!

I hope everyone is well.
