Revision as of 15:19, 6 February 2012
"44" is a funny name for a camera taking 120. Could it be 127? (asks Hoary) --> it was 44 for 120 film
Surely not! There was a (horribly expensive and unreliable) Kodak AE camera some time in the late 1930s. --> if it was horribly expensive it was not manufactured but handcrafted!

Current status of Agfa (as at Feb 2012)
Does anyone know about this? Agfa-Gevaert still lists aerial photography film on its website (but has a contact point to help you substitute unavailable materials, which isn't encouraging). One of these films (Aviphot pan 80) is what gets repackaged as Rollei R80s, so either it's still being made, or Rollei got a big batch of it made. For the user, it's a current product. The article says AgfaPhoto is a brand licensed by Plawa. I find a separate company, AgfaPhoto Holding GmbH, in Leverkusen, which acknowledges the brand as licensed from Agfa-Gevaert but makes no mention of Plawa. They sell digital things and Vista and APX films. My film suppliers in the UK say that a reformulated APX400 is about to become available, which, if it happens, would suggest this is a successful operation (I've been waiting for a new Adox ISO 400 which has been trailed for about a year too, and suspect these two products might be the same thing). It would seem likely that AgfaPhoto bought some film-making capacity from Agfa-Gevaert, if they really are making this film in Leverkusen; in which case, from the users POV, this is Agfa, still making film, isn't it? --Dustin McAmera 07:19, 6 February 2012 (PST)
