APX 400 PRO
The AgfaPhoto APX 400 professional black and white negative film is an ideal choice for those seeking high sensitivity in low light or fast-moving environments. With a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27°, this film can be pushed to ISO 1600/33°, offering flexibility in various shooting conditions.
Standard development yields a fine grain texture and a wide range of tones, ensuring high resolution in black and white prints. Additionally, the film responds well to push and pull development techniques, but it's advisable to conduct prior tests to adjust results as desired.
This product consists of a 35mm film roll (135), with 36 exposures, making it a versatile option for photographers seeking quality and performance in their black and white projects.
COLORPLUS 200 EXPIRED
Kodak Colorplus 200 is a versatile color negative film, balanced for daylight with medium speed. Recognized for its fine grain structure, high sharpness, and vivid color saturation, it's a popular choice among photographers seeking vibrant and detailed results. With a nominal sensitivity of ISO 200/24°, this film offers a wide exposure latitude, allowing adjustments of up to two stops under or three stops over the standard exposure, adapting to a variety of lighting conditions.
However, it's important to note that this film expired in November 2010. Due to its expired state, the sensitivity of the roll may have decreased. It's recommended, therefore, to shoot at ISO 100 to compensate for this loss of sensitivity. Shooting at ISO 100 will produce more balanced results, maintaining image quality and minimizing potential adverse effects of the expired film.
This product consists of a 35mm film roll with 36 and 24 exposures, offering photographers the opportunity to explore the richness of colors and details in their photographs, even in challenging lighting conditions.

A notable feature of this film is its fine grain structure and excellent sharpness, providing high-quality results. Additionally, it has a wide range of tones and exposure latitude, ensuring that details are preserved even in high-contrast situations. It's worth noting that this film may perform better if shot at 800 ISO.
This product consists of a 35mm film roll (135) with 36 exposures, being a reliable choice for photographers seeking consistent and quality results in their black and white images.

Q & A
-
What is Respool? Respooling film is the act of purchasing film in bulk quantities by the 100's of feet and spooling them by hand into used metal cartridges.
-
We came up with the idea of manually respooling 35mm film rolls because here on Pico Island, Azores, it's extremely difficult to find any place that sells them. We ourselves have tried to acquire them but without success. Well, we have the solution. If you live on the island or in the central group, or if you're visiting the island, we can help you. You no longer have to bring your rolls through the airport or spend hours trying to find places here on the island that sell them. We've got you covered. Plus, they are manually respooled, and all branding is custom-made with EXPANALOG's signature colors.

We're respooling fresh film into previously exposed rolls, causing the DX code on those cartridges to vary widely. Consequently, we've opted to conceal it.
In the absence of a detected DX code, cameras default the ISO to 100!

We can't do it now, but we can give you some tips on who can do it in mainland Portugal. However, in the future, we want to start developing black and white and then color film.
