Tower 120 Pan

""... Yields beautiful enlargements with sharp detail...""

Expired 1961. I might run a roll through the Flexaret. Both
camera and film are from that era; maybe they will communicate.


From what I can 'guess', this is likely an Agfa-Gevaert film.
The German company (from 1867) 'Aktien-Gesellschaft für
Anilin-Fabrikation' (AGFA) merged in 1964 with the Belgian
company, 'L. Gevaert & Cie' (from 1894) of Antwerp and
Mortsel, thus becoming Agfa-Gevaert. I am assuming
that Gevaert was producing a panchromatic film in Belgium
for 'branding' in overseas markets in the 1950s and 60s. If
you know the history, please tell me. :-)


****I exposed a roll of this film today, with acceptable results ! See HERE
