I've tended to avoid these Rollei films and other apparently "repacked" or "rebadged" offerings, having read of various issues, and, I suppose, a feeling that possibly they may be of lower quality or poorer QC. Having looked around online, there are, however, some examples of very good quality being produced, e.g.
http://erickimphotography.com/blog/...base-cn200-color-film-for-street-photography/ (I've no connection with that site, just a random link from a Google search.)
Might be time for me to try them out, particularly if there is a faster slide version.

mcaodirect replied to my question and they say it is a brand new emulsion and it is totally different from cr200
This film was designed for aerial photography and had to be dimensionally accurate, hence why polyester was used.The datasheets for CN200 went into a lot of detail about cross-processing in E6 and the results were color shifted, but not that dramatically, so it seems to me the goal was to develop a film that yield similar color in both C-41 and E-6 chemistry. The consolidation of CN200 and CR200 into a single product(if they weren't that already) at a higher speed is an interesting idea. The comments in this thread about the acetate supply may explain why they tried the synthetic base.
I can gurantee it will be either repackaged fuji or agfa film.It looks like we have a new colour reversal film to play with, rooleu-maco Vario chrome. They say this film could be exposed between 200 and 400 iso with no adjustments in the process. It looks like Ferrania might have another competitor...
I don't think it is going to be Fuji film. I think it is a brand new agfa (Belgium) filmI can gurantee it will be either repackaged fuji or agfa film.
Will be interesting if Agfa is producing E6 again, if its polyester base, i assume its agfa.
I doubt invosocoat will be making it, Where would they find an E6 emulsion that they can coat on that coater?
Especially considering the time its taking for ferrania and Kodak to reproduce E6 again, i can only assume they have kept AGFA making Aviphot again, or they have sourced from fuji.
Inovis coat produce impossible film. And almost certainly LOMO chrome films, so they have the means to actually make both positive or negative filmI can gurantee it will be either repackaged fuji or agfa film.

wlodekmj, thats an impressive statement! (mine are not so good.) How do you store and keep your slides in such good shape?
Cheers, Pitt
Lomochrome Purple and Lomochrome Turquoise are C-41 color negative films.Inovis coat produce impossible film. And almost certainly LOMO chrome films, so they have the means to actually make both positive or negative film

I know that. They can make emulsions, not only coat them, that the is essential point. They make impossible instant positive film and lomochrome, so I assume they have the capability of making and coating both positive and negative filmLomochrome Purple and Lomochrome Turquoise are C-41 color negative films.
And before you say that impossible film is different from chrome film, I know that as well, but it also means they have quite a good R&D teamI know that.

It is repackaged old film from a "major manufacturer": https://www.instagram.com/p/BV4PxrilxOG/mcaodirect replied to my question and they say it is a brand new emulsion and it is totally different from cr200
Thank you Dave for keeping us informed - and thank you especially for the P30 which I finally received on Saturday June 24.
I see that this is a recent version, as it has P30 and FERRANIA along the top edge, and frame numbers along the lower edge. I look forward to the above further b/w emulsions, but - of course - especially to the 'chrome - Ferraniachrome was the first slide film I used, 51 years ago, and the slides still look as good as new. I look forward to comparing them to the new Ferraniachrome.
One wonders how old it is, how it has been stored, and who it was originally produced for.It is repackaged old film from a "major manufacturer": https://www.instagram.com/p/BV4PxrilxOG/
They have enough stock for a couple of production runs, which explains the "limited edition".

Actually its the other way round, invoscoat's business is to coat emulsions, not to make them, in fact any company that hires then needs to provide all the necessary materials etc.I don't think it is going to be Fuji film. I think it is a brand new agfa (Belgium) film
Inovis coat can make emulsions, not just coat them
they make impossible film and lomochrome for sure. on their website they say they make colour negative film.invoscoat's business is to coat emulsions, not to make them
