Without stealing his thunder, Emmanuel Bigler has said that CR-200, now 
marketed by Maco, has its origins is a colour slide film designed for aerial 
use - Agfa Aviphot. The yellow cast is required to compensate for UV at high 
altitude. Emmanuel says that he uses a Wratten 82A to compensate but thinks a 
82B may do a better job when used at ground level.

Don, when you refer to it as Agfacolor, I believe you mean it as a slide film?  
If so, it would be called Agfachrome in the States.  (and I was a great fan of 
Agfachrome).

Whatever it was called it was transparency film in The Netherlands.  I have a 
great many such 120 slides in storage and since many are not mounted I suspect 
the film type will show up along the edge.  I'll check.  I have the best ones 
mounted in ANR glass mounts.
