Although a very early pioneer in trichromatic color film (as early as 1908), invented by German chemists Fischer and Homolka, Agfa was first made commercially available in 1936 (16 mm reversal) and 1940 (35 mm),[1] Agfa-Gevaret has discontinued their line of motion picture camera films.

All stock numbers ending in a "2" are Fuji's Super-F emulsions (1990s) and the stocks ending in "3" are the new Eterna emulsions.[2] Fuji also introduced their Reala film - a color stock with a 4th color emulsion layer, which is also the fastest daylight balanced color motion picture stock ever offered at 500 ISO.

[edit] Eastman Kodak
In films from 1950 on, the prefex "52" designates 35 mm negative size, "72" designates 16 mm, 8 mm does not have its own prefix, but shares the "72"; where 8 mm stock is or was manufactured by Kodak, it is so indicated. The "T" designates a tungsten (3200K) balanced negative and "D" designates a daylight (5600K) negative. The number preceding this is the film's speed (ISO).
