I think it is the best print film available. I have been telling the LUG about it for two years and have never heard a word back about it. Oh well!!! I use it when I need prints, as I guess you do. My daughter took both Royal Gold 200 and Agfa 160 on our Europe trip. The difference was incredible. The Agfa Portrait 160 wins hands down.
