Agfa Speed Film
Superpan Press and Super Plenachrome Press meet demands of journalistic and theatrical photographers.
Aiming to fill the demand for superspeed press camera film that will allow journalistic and theatrical photographers extreme sensitivity under adverse lighting conditions, Agfa Ansco last month announced two new cut films, Superpan Press and Super Plenachrome Press. Both will be available in standard sizes.
The manufacturers state that due to new developments in emulsion-making technique, they are able to produce a gain in film sensitivity that allows the photographer an edge of from l]/> to 2 full lens stops, without affecting quality, clarity, gradation and color sensitivity.
Of the two new films Superpan Press has slightly greater speed than its running mate, particularly in artificial light. It possesses panchromatic color sensitivity and has somewhat steeper gradation than the orthochromatic Super Plenachrome Press.
With a sensitivity from three to four times greater than present "super" types of film, these new out films, the manufacturers state, will in some instances permit good shots with ordinary Mazda light or normal interior illumination. When flash bulbs are used, they function effectively with the smaller and more economical sizes.
