I wounder if Freestyle's Primum 100 is going away as well? Most folks seem to think it is rebranded Plus X, but perhaps it is make to order for Freestyle by Kodak. I tired a few rolls when it came to market a couple of years ago and seemed a lot like Plus X, but never really tested it.

You are a lot late on that one. I managed to sqeeze 7 cans. As soon as I mentioned it, everyone else piled on.

They still have single 24 exposure rolls left. You had better move fast on these.

I managed to get 2x100ft rolls and 20 packaged rolls in 35mm. Add the 23 rolls of 120 I still have and that will be enough for me.

I think the ORWO 54 will be my replacement for Plus-X.

... of course, she could just be p'd off becuase the board elected a younger lady, also named Laura, to be Pres of the Board. Could be an emotional reaction...

She was never going to be Pres/CEO, she's an academic.

Interesting choice. Do you know who makes this film? My guess would be Foma.

I believe it is ORWO in former East Germany. It is motion picture stock. There has been a lot of interest in this film lately. You can check Flickr for examples. It's actually pretty nice, with a classic look.
