Expired – AGFA Vista 200 – A German story with Japanese accent - Ep. 3

Instagram: angelo_mpdc https://www.instagram.com/angelo_mpdc/ Hello guys, welcome back to the channel. This episode is called “Expired AGFA Vista 200 – A German story with Japanese accent”. Today we have something very special. After two episodes of shooting fresh Portra and fresh Tri-X, we will shoot a roll of expired AGFA Vista 200, AKA Poundland film. This film was expired in June 2005, so that’s 13 years ago. Everyone refers to AGFA as a German company, but it is in fact a Belgian-German company and the headquarters are actually in Mortsel, Belgium. It was founded in 1867 in Berlin under the name Aktiengesellschaft für Anilinfabrikation, later in 1894 was renamed to Gevaert & Co., the AGFA brand appears for the first time in 1897 and it stands for the original name of the company (A)ktien(G)esellschaft (F)ür (A)nilinfabrikation (sorry to the Germanic people that might be hearing me) and in 1964 was again renamed to AGFA-Gevaert. In 2004, the division for the consumer imaging was sold and the AGFAPhoto GmbH was born, but unfortunately it did not live long as it filed for bankruptcy in less than a year. Today a company named AGFAPhoto Holding GmbH licences the AGFA brands.
