To all APX-lovers

Taken from the Retro Photographic newsletter:

Rollei Retro 100, 400 120
At last we have stocks of the Rollei Retro 100 and Retro 400 films in 120 rollfilm. The films are Agfapan APX 100 and 400 re-branded under the Rollei label and are from the last Agfa production run before closing. There is sufficient raw film to supply these films for many years.
​

It's official, I guess...

WOW! Thanks for the great news.. is there a catch?,,,...

a catch......
price$$ maybe?

Nope.
I just checked several suppliers.
Very reasonable prices actually.
12 rolls of Retro100 in 120 is around 35 Euro (44US$, 25.30 UK£)

And you get that nifty wooden box too.

Ouch. I paid $1.77/roll for APX100 120 a year ago, case price from my local pro dealer. Of course, like the price of oil, supply and demand determines all. Glad I stocked up when I did.

Eur. 34,80 for 12 Retro 100/400 120 rollfilms. Which is Eur. 0,30 more than almost 1 1/2 years ago when the last 120 APX rollfilms were available here in the Netherlands.

Agfa dumped their films on the USA market in the past.
If you compare with Ilford FP4/HP5 Rollei is cheaper but the films will be available in a limited period.

best regards,

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that. The price is actually not too much higher than I use to pay for APX100. I guess once I run out of my current stock, I will buy some of this.

Ciao!
