I tried some 200 Agfachrome (it was expired & given to me) and yes it's an
E6 film and I liked it too.

Today's Agfachrome is E6, but not in the days I first used it. It was in my
- -- German must be better youth, when I briefly turned away from Kodachrome,
and began using Agfa's product. It was a mixed bag indeed, and was returned
in THICK plastic mounts without the date on them (bad news now). I got
sucked in again when they moved to an E6 process, but the discovery of my
Grandfathers slides finally convinced me of what my eyes were seeing -- the
Agfachrome was just not as nice, consistent, and definitely did not last. 

give me those nice bright colours, give the greens of summer, make me feel
all the worlds a sunny day. I got a Leica camera and love to take a
photograph so Kodak don't take my Kodachrome away ;-) (WAT Paul)
