Orwo 200 available in the US as "Kono Color 200"... (I think)

There is is a new color film available on Freestyle photo called "Kono Color 200" for $12/roll that really really really looks like Orwo 200:

From Kono's website: "... new film... world premiere... brand-new emulsion developed by our professional partner in Germany... "

I see a lot of halation. Perhaps this is the same pre-production run of Optik that doesn't have the anti-halation layer. No idea if this film has the orange base of Optik or the green base of typical Orwo films. I would imagine that Orwo 200 and all its re-brands would be identical, but who knows?

Right now I have too much film at home. I'm going to wait for the version with the anti-halation layer.

I am under the impression that the older version of Orwa 200 was rebranded Konica, there seems to be some frozen rolls left, the new version of Orwo if it is made in German by Orwo and if it lacks a antihalation layer might a repackaged movie film. Kodak Gold 200 is bit cheaper than the new Kino, so movie film or standard daylight,

Movie film usually does have an AHL - unless it is print film, but then it`s also like 3 ISO...
