Hi, Bill. In my experience, the RSX II 50 will behave differently when processed by different labs. From two labs here in Oslo, I have received images with a noticeable magenta cast which was not at all nice. However, I have also found a lab that do a decent job on this film.
Last winter I tried it side by side with a Provia 100f on ice motifs. Ice is an ideal subject for testing colour casts. Both films were developed by the lab I knew to produce decent results with Agfa. Compared to the provia, the Agfa produced a slight magenta cast. The provia, however, produced a slight cyan cast. Don't think I would have noticed either without doing the comparison, but there it was. I also noticed that the RSX II is slightly more grainy than is Provia 100, and less contrasty. However, the RSX seem to have a half to one stop more latitude than the Provia. In my shots, this was noticeable in the highlights. In the ice there were more shades of white with the Agfa. Did my test with a Pentax 645 and A-120/4 macro on tripod. Exposure times were ca. 1-4 seconds.
