Damn, just watch the prices on baby Rolleiflexes skyrocket!!!!
Just wait until the end of Rolleiflex is no longer head line news, and things (and prices) will come back to normal.
Will not take long.

Why are some of you against the Efke. I like it. It has an old feel to it.
What a surprise: There will be a new 127 film on the market.
Maco / Rollei-Film is offering the new Rollei Retro 80S now in 127 format as well (and 120)!

No Efke R100 monopoly anymore.
Time to reactivate our Baby Rolleiflex, Yashica 44, Kodak Brownie and all the other nice 4x4 / 3x4 cameras.
I've used the Retro 80S in 35mm so far. One of the best films introduced in the last years. You get excellent sharpness and resolution (on the same level with Kodak TMX), but even significantly finer grain than with TMX. An excellent material for big enlargements.
Film is alive!
Seems that Rollei-Film is becoming "king of the niche", because they have introduced so much new speciality films during the last four years. )
To be the king of the niche you have to be a little more than Maco. Maco doesn't introduce "new films", but buys films and gives them the correct size (KB, 120, 127) so we can use them for fotography. Generally this is a good idea (if there wouldn't always be that big marketing bla bla), so we can use good films like Agfa Aviphot Pan for normal fotography.
Unfortunately, during the last time there were some quality problems, so one tim e120 roll films had the wrong size (60mm)
and now with some 400S Films the paper on the backside isn't sticked correctly so if you want Maco changes universal 200 und retro 400s films to Rollei IR films http://www.aphog.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=10132.
In some german forums there are rumors about emulsions problems with Rollei ATP, I don't know if this is true, because I don't have used it for a long time. The one (and only) I used was ok.
As I've said, I think this is too little to be a king. The standard of photographic films isn't set up by Maco (nor by Foma nor by efke), but by Ilford, Kodak and Fuji. If you want to have the most up to date high quality films you have to go for these three brands.
Where can you buy this stuff in USA? I know that Freestyle sells some of the Rollei films....
does anyone know where i can find the data sheet for rollei 80s and where i can buy it?
