    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
