Agfa Isopan ISS Rapid 100

ISO 100 N&B medium Expert

collector piece (prix musée)

A panchromatic ISO 100 B&W film from Agfa, packaged in a Rapid cartridge. The Rapid (or Agfa Rapid) system was a proprietary format developed by Agfa in the 1960s to simplify loading compact cameras. The cartridge slid directly into the camera with no handling of a take-up spool. Today extremely rare unopened, a photographic collector's item.

− Expired since 1977

− Practically unfindable

The Rapid cartridge system was developed by Agfa as a simpler alternative to loading 135mm film. Unlike the 135 format, the Rapid cartridge needed no rewinding — film moved from one cartridge to another as shots were taken. The format quickly lost out to 135mm's dominance, making original boxed examples exceedingly rare today, as evidenced by the piece kept at the Deutsches Kameramuseum in Plech (Bavaria).
