Hi, I think it's true, Perutz is part of AGFA.
In the past ( ten years agoe ) I used a lot of Perutz slide films because they were cheaper than the original Agfa films. I was then quite satisfied with the results. A rumour said, that Perutz films were second quality ones from Agfa. As the colours were very similiar, it could be true. Meanwhile I only use Agfa films and can't rate the actual quality of Perutz films. And IIRC I saw only print films from Perutz. regards Glenn wrote: > A friend told me of a curious film he'd run into, a brand he'd > never heard of before.
