Agfa Pan APX 25 Characteristics and properties

 I was looking for this on the internet and like all thing internet if it's half decent it's not there. So this comes from a book that is now out of circulation.

The film is as rare as Rocking Horse pooh, but if you've sourced some this might be of some use to you.

As far as my students are concerned they have to understand why photographers use certain films. In this case it's the legendary Bechers.
