Rollei Vintage Papers

[Ross Chambers]

I visit APUG almost daily and I haven't seen anything about what--in Australia anyway--is quite a new product.
Made in the "EU", rather expensive, perhaps from the Maco stable.

Information? Comments?

Below from my regular supplier/stockist:

I guess most - if not all of them - are made by foma. The codes (111, 131, 331, etc) make it kind of suspicious anyway, but I have seen the foma logo on the boxes too. To be precise, it was "Produced by" with the foma logo Even the spectral sensitivity charts at rollei's pdfs seem to be taken from foma's pdfs...

Buy Foma (much cheaper!)... and check if you see a difference...

It's Foma at twice the price. The new labels must be very expensive

Yeah this definitely looks like Foma. The characteristics of these "Rollei" papers pretty much mirror those of Foma.
