Gonna try some Agfa Vista 200asa colour neg film that I picked up (four rolls) dated 2006, has anyone used it or even heard of it?
Some *not* entirely complimentary views here:

No there Isn't.....
I promise never to complain about the blotches on Boots processing ever again! (Second pic, sky!).
I happen to quite like the colour balance actually..... Nice separation of the greens in the individual plants and trees too.

Well I rather like those, the 1st one especially.

Bit bland are they not? OK though for cheap stuff.
is it my bloodshot eyes or is there a pink tinge to those last few shots ?
Ah, as long as it's there in the shots, i'm happy - I was wondering if it was time to re-calibrate my screen, or get some pale green tinted spec's
I borrowed one of those colour calibration kits from a graphics designer mate of mine a few months ago - did the monitor, printer and scanner, so all of 'em are "singing off the same hymn sheet" - then when I'm shooting colour film, I take a shot with a colour reference card at the start of a session, or if the light changes. It may waste the odd frame, but film and dev's cheap - re-shooting costs - in time and money :shrug:
The brightness issue is something I've wondered about a few times. I know that a lot of the camera review sites have brightness calibration sections on the bottom of the review - a black to white grading, where you adjust your brightness/contrast up or down until you can just discern every change in the gradient.
Something like this :shrug:
... quite a few shots could be improved in the "show us your film shots" if others would adjust their monitor.....and it's all free.
Wait a minute - you mean they should adjust their monitors and then adjust the scans before posting? Bit naughty that no?
..and another roll of 10p Vista this time with Tak 35mm or Ensinor 24mm and Vivitar 28mm f2.8
What a brilliant set, great colour and focus and the reason we all LOVE film and older kit.
I said "it's too complicated for you" and she is insulted and sulks :bang::bang::bang:
You are brave man, Brian to have said that
Can you please come here and say a few things to my wife while you are at it
