Agfa Copex Rapid images
Images taken using Agfa Copex Rapid.
The rapid film is branded under various disguises.
It can be labeled plainly as ACR, Rollei ATP1.1, Spur DSX even Adox CMS 20 (not 100% sure about this last one but its probably true)
I have found even though it is the same film I prefer that it is not branded as Rollei as this tends to go off faster and have back imprints sooner than the other stock. Don't ask me why as I can't explain but everyone I have had a label on that says Rollei has invariably been problematic.
One last problem with the Rollie film I haven't seen on the others... A big hole stamped in the backing paper at the last frame. Not a problem if you are using a completely enclosed camera, but it's problematic on older hasselblad backs and newer 3 d printed cameras with a viewing hole. You end up with a big exposed circle on the last frame
Keep contrast under control by using very dilute rodinal 1:100 for between 10-18 mins depending on the exposure index applied.
this film only needs fixing for 1 min. It does not need more. stop can be as short as 30 seconds.
