    If I remember corectly ADOX is experimenting with colour filmy, but they haven’t done any big run of it. My money is on ORWO, another german film producer. Their films are sold under their own brand and also probably as Agfaphoto color and Ilfocolor

      I thought Agfa is totally out since a while? At leasr for producing films like that. Orwo doesn’t seem to produce themselves, but did something through Agfa a while back. At leasr according to wikipedia.

      And Ilford isn’t exactly german ;-)

      I’m all for fresh film, it’s just that most annoncements are not very true sadly. And since i’ve learned a bit about how complex that stuff actually is, i’m maybe overly sceptical.

        "Where is your stock produced?

        We continue to produce a wide range of film products on the original Wolfen site in Germany, where motion picture film manufacture has been a tradition since 1910, and where continuing innovative development in film technology has been a feature of the ORWO brand since 1964." - From the FAQ on ORWO’s site.

        As for Agfa, I didn’t say that they produce anything. The currently sold ‘agfa’ films appear to be made by Illford and ORWO. First handles the B&W and the latter the colour films
