AgfaPhoto APX 400 is one of the many 400-speed monochrome 35mm films jostling on the shelves for your attention and your wallet. From Kodak’s historic Tri-X 400, highly favored by journalists throughout the 20th century, to today’s versatile Ilford HP5 Plus 400, many photographers have discovered the joys of a 400-speed film that balances decent light-sensitivity with just the right amount of grain.
So, how does AgfaPhoto APX 400 differentiate itself? It’s pitched as being affordable and reliable, a film that doesn’t produce images with as much contrast as the likes of Tri-X, and can generally be depended on for a balanced exposure. Agfa promises about three stops of exposure latitude, and a fine grain structure that’s perceptible, but not overbearing.
