How do you get the wooden box? I asked freestyle and they said the films used to come in boxes but don't anymore... Has this changed back?
Those wooden boxes had been introduced with or short after the introduction of the Rollei film brand by Maco.
Since some time Maco do no longer offer them.
That's interesting...
I also use and like PAN F Plus. The substrates seem to be different in colour. However, the perfect flatness of both, the high quality of the coatings, the perfect alignment of the tape to paper backing, the die cutting of the boxes, the style of the spools, the way the foil wrapping is sealed; all make me think that ILFORD (HARMAN) has something to do with this new film. If anything, that gives me confidence in addition to me already liking the film. I'll be sticking with it.

Indeed, if Ilford has something to do with this, it's a very hopeful sign.
Photograph looks very good.It's a high quality film. The substrate is bluish, which is no problem. It also lays as flat as flat can be. Grain is small. Contrast seems to be controllable. Tonal range is what I'd hoped for. It developed alright in OBSIDIAN AQUA at 1 in 500, for 12 minutes semi-stand @ 20 deg. C. The packaging is exactly the same as ILFORD 120 films except for the words. The anti halation coating soaks off in a black flush. The reciprocity factor I based on the figures Mahn sent me, which were 1/1000 1 no change, 2 becomes 3, 10 becomes 20, 20 becomes 50, 50 becomes 180.

Where from ? Who in N.America is already carrying this film ?I ordered 10 rolls of 120 last night.

That's because the 127 was a mistake. There's a separate thread on this.
Link? Will it ever come in 127?
> did anyone use the recommended developer Rollei RPX-D before?
I used it, but only for pushing RPX 400 film. It is far too expansive for general use.
Hi Everybody,
I tested the film too, and made my first development in my PMK.
Please see the results. I guess it's just a little bit (10 %) overdevelopped, but the results are even really nice !

You can find the film in Europe in my shop
Cheers
Just received my five boxes of 135. EAN code is 4024953825110, expiry date JAN 2018, Made in EU, DX barcode is 830254. That is DX code 189-1, which I can't find in my file from 2009, so most likely a new emulsion.
Enough detective work, time to take some photographs!
