Rollei Crossbird vs Digibase CR200

Are these the same films? The Crossbird says it is negative film, but B&H is listing it as E-6. This could be a typical B&H screw up, or this is a maskless C-41 that can be processed either as a negative or tranny.

From what I’ve seen, Crossbird is an E6 film designed for cross processing in C41 chemicals, hence the name.

Both rolls contain the same film, Agfa Avichrome.

One is correctly labelled as E-6 film. The other one is labelled as C-41 film to make the lab it crossprocess without any hassle.

I just developed a couple of rolls of the Crossbird as E-6. It's a very nice film. No Provia or Ektachrome, but the colors are very natural and the detail is good. Much better than the Lomo stuff I've tried.

Best part is that it comes in individual plastic canisters! Why isn't all 120 packaged like that?
