Saw an interesting rumor in a comment on Mike Johnston's blog to the effect that Adox would try to bring back Agfa E-6 films, if Kodak dropped theirs. True?
I shot a fair amount of Agfachrome 100 in the 1980s. It was a palette I really liked.

I thought that the Rollei Digibase films and Lomo E-6 are Agfa...They are E-6 films that are made in Germany...An Adox E-6 would be really nice though! Especially in sheets :)
+1 if they can do it! Woo-hoo!Quote:

I think they are made in Belgium actually.Quote:

Schleussner/Dupont manufactured Adox colour negative and transparency films but these were based on similar technology to Agfa's colour films.

I'm planning on ordering some of this Rollei CR200 film in 120. It's quite cheap if you're in Europe.
200 speed would be fine. It's sort of a hole, speed wise, in current offerings anyway, and has been since E200 went away. Grainy, well - probably better than the E4 films I first shot, and certainly better than the E4 HSE at a whopping speed of 160. ;)
Yep, AGFA is in Belgium.Quote:

I like Provia, but it would be nice to have a little bit of variety in the market and I'd be delighted to see Adox pop up in the E6 market.
