I never tried it but I would trust them. I have ordered from Ultrafineonline a bit and never had an issue with anything they sent me. They repack all types of film and paper from bulk rolls and AGFA made tones of film just before going under.

I haven't tried this film but I'll echo what Brian said.

I've always had great dealings with Ultrafine and their US shipping policies are really reasonable.

Seems their color stock (120/220) has been abit limited these days and their main website quite frankly bites but they are great in most other ways.

Rollei Retro 100 is also Agfa APX100, I believe. It has quite a high base density compared to other medium speed films but prints very nicely. Try ID-11 1:3 for 17 mins, two inversions per minute at 20C as a starting point.
