New Foma Ortho 400 in 35mm

I take it this is a supplement to its recent Orto 50 film and this equally ortho in its spectral sensitivity? If so, Foma is moving forward in leaps and bounds Do you happen to know what its real speed is. I mean it might be 400 but on the other hand Foma 400 is generally rated as closer to 250 so I wonder if that's the more likely speed of this 400? Even if this 400 is closer to 250 that is a large increase in speed over Ilford's Ortho 80
Second question: Has Foma announced its prices for the 135 and 120 versions ?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply I am amazed that some 6 hours after your announcement there are no other posts. However as most of us are U.S. based this may account for it

That's good news! I've recently shot a roll of the Ortho 400 in 120 which was released last year, and was wondering why there was no 35mm variant of it. But now there is!

Can't really comment on its true speed yet, as my metering while shooting this single roll was so-so, but my first roll developed a little thin. Darkroom prints turned out fine though.
 
My Foma Ortho 400-120 came out quite contrasty. The box speed was reached, no overexposure required. Fine grain, good sharpness, but no anti-halation layer. I developed in Adox XT-3, 1+3, 15 min.

Pentax, this seems to be just the 35mm version of 120 film we discussed a while ago https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/new-ortho-120-film-from-foma.199377/


Good news, nonetheless!
 
I'm bananas or the sky has some blotting artifact to it?
 
Does anyone know when/if this film will be released in the USA? I am only able to find the 120 version.
