Agfa APX 100 | 135-36
Agfa APX 100 is a classic, medium-slow black-and-white film known for fine, traditional grain and crisp, high resolution. At ISO 100 it shines in daylight and controlled lighting—landscape, architecture, studio, product, and fine-art projects—where its calm, balanced contrast and smooth highlight roll-off produce elegant, printable negatives. Midtones are beautifully shaped and textures render with a timeless, neutral look. APX 100 offers generous latitude for a 100-speed stock: rating around ISO 80–100 gives fuller shadows and silky highlights, while a push to 200 adds a touch more bite and presence without falling apart. It’s cooperative in the darkroom and scans cleanly, with strong tonal separation that makes grading straightforward. If you want refined detail and classic tonality at an approachable price, APX 100 delivers dependable results and a look that never goes out of style.
