Orwo film's easy to find on Ebay, and in former Eastern Block countries it was once the major manufacturer of films, followed by Foma.

It's quite easy to find ORWO here in Bulgaria, most of the BW film stock of older (elder ) photografers is actualy of ORWO... and maybe some Tasma and Svema

Yes, that is also how I get my film - I buy it from a photographer who no longer has the opportunity to work in analog.
Something else, I work with Retrodinal, a variation of Parodinal that I learned about from my first posts on this site : (there was a url link here which no longer exists)
I have developed most of my work in it and I'm stunned, I have tried Parodinal, but Retrodinal is slightly easier to prepare, since it uses metabisulfate, and though I have left some exposed to air in an open jar for about a week, as a test for it's longevity, despite a very small change in color, there was no other alteration of its properties. When I conducted the same test with my Parodinal, the result was a dark, coffee-like liquid, that had poorer developing abilities.
