The Agfa XR 100 i is a color negative film from the 1980s and 1990s that was manufactured by the renowned Agfa-Gevaert AG in Germany. As the successor to the Agfa XR 100, this film was very popular and offered photographers the opportunity to capture their stories and moments in stunning color images.
The nominal sensitivity of the Agfa XR 100 i is ISO 100, which means that this film is ideal for shooting in daylight and on sunny days. This sensitivity ensures high image quality and clear colors in good lighting conditions.
Developing the film
After the film is full, it must be developed using the AP 70 process, which is similar to the widely used C-41 process. Development of this type of film is possible in most photographic laboratories, as the C-41 process is established as a standard procedure. With the proper chemistry and equipment, it is even possible to develop the film yourself at home. After development, the negatives can be scanned or prints made to share the captured moments with others.
Availability and Alternatives
The Agfa XR 100 i was mainly available for 35mm format. With a normal image size of 24x36mm, 36 photos fit on the color film, although variants with fewer images were also available. The film cassette has a DX code that contains information such as film speed and can be read automatically by some cameras.
Since the Agfa XR 100 i is no longer in fresh production, the recommended available alternative is Kodak Gold 200*, a color negative film in 35mm format. This film is great for everyday shooting and provides solid results in a wide range of lighting conditions. As such, it is a good choice for photographers who want to continue to appreciate and enjoy the charm and aesthetics of analog photography.
