The Agfa Ultra 100 is a color negative film. The film, which was only available for 35 mm cameras, has not been available for a long time. It replaced the Ultra 50 at that time.
What distinguished this film back then were its colors. Not for nothing was it advertised by Agfa as the most color-intensive film in the world. The consumer film was characterized by its high color saturation with simultaneous color fidelity.
Agfa’s Eye Vision Technology was responsible for this. Even with low contrasts, such as shots taken in fog, the award-winning, EISA Award 2003/2004 for the best color negative film in Europe, Agfa Ultra 100 should run vibrant colors. EISA stands for “European Imaging and Sound Association.”
With its sensitivity, it was of course not necessarily suitable for low-light shooting. Agfa Ultra 100 is a C-41 film, so it has to be processed in the C-41 process.
There is no direct replacement for the Agfa Ultra 100. As an alternative, one could perhaps reach for the Kodak Ektar 100*.
