New color films under Voigtländer name

[PHOTOTONE]

Some months back, maybe even a year or more ago, I purchased some rock-bottom priced Voigtlander slide film from an online store. I think it was like 97 cents a roll. It was past its prime, though. However, the edge numbering is identical in type style and format to Fuji products.

Is there an english language link and is the chrome available in 120?

...Kodak claims not to rebrand.

They may claim this, but at least in Germany they do.
A month ago I exposed 40 films of Paradies Dia 100, a german drugstore brand. They are identical to Kodak elitechrome 100.

My guess would be some re-branded Konica given the Cosina/Voightlander connection.

I wonder if Mr. Kobayashi's (sp?) commitment to film photography has enlarged to encompass the media as well as the gear?

Originally Voigtländer films, plates and chemicals were made for them by Gevaert.


The Voigtländer name is still German owned, by Ringfoto GmbH & Alfo Marketing KG. Ringfoto is known for re-branding Agfa and Ferrania film, and have a licensing deal with Cosina who manufacture the current Voigtländer rangefinder cameras.
