Hi Mirko,
If I understand correctly, there are grants 2 more weeks and then the original APX new, I mean 100 and 400 are new.
And where are those? Is that your 400 project or the begischer come from Fuji or Ilford Kentmere or from aerial production? and it is also available as Rofilm?

As long as there are real APX I do not know.
We spent the last 1,000 times from our warehouse now raised the price. For years we had to sell this film due to the cut-throat competition far below the contribution margin. The few that are left may now roll out slowly but with profit. And if nobody buys that is good, then we have more sample material ;-)
I can not comment on the reasons behind the production of competitive material.
We do not produce the film. We could never reproduce at the price.
Best regards,
Mirko

Hopefully not too much longer. And then there will soon be a real Adox 400 I hope so.
Any old roles, appearing suddenly nervous, and are the companies that still exist and produce movies, certainly a horror. And thus the continued existence of analog photograph a hindrance.

As described above, we could not map the film at this price level. More broadly, it means that we generally do not "competitive, normal" for a given market Pries level can produce 100 or 400.
When we launched the 400 project, there were several interested parties with sometimes very large amounts and a different competitive situation. The long start-up problems, the partners are gradually jumped. On top of that, there was suddenly borderline high quality but affordable 100 and 400 on the market. A rogue who suspects behind tactics ;-)
Are as long as these films for these conditions on the market, all other manufacturers are blocked. Any attempt of entry will result in a massive destruction of capital.
Quite apart from that, it is due to the elimination of Fotokemika now sufficiently parallel sites for us.
We therefore had to (at least temporarily) reorient and realign our priorities. The new CHS100 II, for example, consists of a "normal" 100 from its sensitization, the AHU and the clear carrier. We see it as an opportunity because it is something special and hope to achieve the price we need to offer cover costs.
Best regards,
Mirko

In my opinion this is not only for us. We cook all the same water. The product film is marginal price in the market and can run at amortized product implementation and installation costs as only maintaining a status quo. Research, innovation (unless it is for cost savings) and product developments are not desirable and affordable.

I also understand that. But somehow replacement implies similarity, if not identity. That was my question: How similar? I can (or will) not imagine that simply wrapping some 100 film with the traditional name of APX.
Edit: Ah, I had overlooked Mirko answer. Well, I want my question times throughout housewife default filters (nothing against housewives):
Can it be that the new APXE be made while at another company, in another place and with new / other people, but after a proven recipe and with established production processes? That would be a certain relationship, more or less pronounced, with the Leverkusen suspect goods. Or you take a XY film cheap (nothing against cheap movies), it sticks the APX-shield and dangles the customer resistance? Then we would just do it with no APX character. Which would then probably extinct.

I mean round off a film with similar characteristics and expression of 50 and 25 ASA (rounding down), and 200 and 400 ASA (Round up)
50 and 200 where you can save yourself.
I meant with on and off and rounding up or rounding down.

A recipe on a film transfer to another plant is roughly equivalent to the same or sometimes even a higher research effort than a new development. As a new development at a given market price is not an option you can transfer my statement.
You who are gathered here in the forums does not belong, must be the very first target of the new APX. Here is a strong brand, combined with existing channel with a very cheap quality film. The customer sees the brand, buy, and get sensible images: All is well.
The customer does not necessarily have to get a picture of the claim that it is as if he had taken it with APX made in Leverkusen. Who has this claim, which could even years bunker at an affordable price.
If the claim is translated above technical parameters, also a congruence could come out with our Silvermax. The latter runs so successful that a new production in one form or another would be as thrilling follow-up project to Polywarmtonprojekt. We currently tend to be a mixture of APX 25 and 100 on clear carrier with increased silver coating .... but everything is still very far away.

Oh so clear, the Empfindlicheiten. This would be noted that the 400 has little in common with the 100 and 25er with its complex emulsions actually represents the perfection of the series. Actually, what the APX affects only the 25er and the 100 so similar that one can speak of a series. It is also difficult to continue a series of 400 because this old emulsions at 100 ASA "out of breath" and they emanates "borderline overexcited" as 400 actually are. If you need the speed, it is because for some decades ran differently and also gets to conditions a very good movie.

The high performer is back! Available from 1.8.2013 -
APX 400 provides remarkable performance and reliability even in bad light. Another benefit: this highly sensitive film can be pushed as high as a speed of ISO 1600/33°. This means that the applications for APX 400 are almost limitless: action, sports reporting, fashion and advertising.
gives the impression the old APX400 is back.The high performer is back!
New Emulsion
Oh German brethren, please let me know what Mirko is saying now??!!
Why am I seeing APX 25?!!?!
Of course I do not doubt that this is a emulsion different from APX400. I doubt though, as you, that is a new emulsion in the proper meaning.
But what I actually tried to hint at is that the Lupus Statements seem contradictory in themselves.
Well, AgfaPhoto brought back Vista and CT Precisa films... But only remained the name, the film is made in Japan, and is most probably Superia 200 for the Vista 200 and Provia 100F (with an extraordinary price) for the CT PRecisa.
I think it is the same for APX400 ... Probably made somewhere in England with an emulsion known as Kentmere 400 ... Harman Technology is spreading this emulsion all over the world.
We have to check...
I think it's kind of lame for them to be abusing the APX name for something that so much definitely isn't APX in any way.
