Hey everyone, check this out?

http://shop.lomography.com/shop/main.php?cat=&pro=lmf

Any clue what it could be? The packaging looks very generic and at $4.00 a roll for 120 I probably won't be buying any (the lomographic society is known for big mark ups), but I'm still curious anyway.

My guess would be Rollei Retro, but the label on the roll in the picture looks incredibly generic.

One picture clearly shows Agfa APX 400 with the Rollei Retro labeling. The black backed stuff, if it comes in red packaging, is probably Shanghai as figured out in this thread: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

The last sales display I saw was in the shop of a major art gallery in Sydney, and Rollei Retro was included. My comment was that the Lomo was dodgy enough, why have the poor unsuspecting souls saddled with a difficult film stock as well.

Eliminate one of the variables: stick to TriX or FP 4 , HP 5. None of them will change the characteristics of the Lomo itself.
