Guy Pinhas, Valdas, and CharlesDAMorgan found that ORWO has a new update to their N74+ film, which is now discontinued. N75 is the new version, and has an additional anti-halation undercoat (AHU), and a ISO 320 speed.
I think Guy and Valdas both have some on order from FilmoTec. Please feel free to share image samples and experiences with the new N75 here!

I actually got a 400ft bulk of N74 so count me out. That said, I am going to load it soon and see what gives. Will post in the appropriate thread.

No idea of arrival date from Germany, but we'll see!

I plan to shoot some N75 this weekend (if it arrives on time), so I might be sharing my first results next week.

400 feet is a lot of N74! I'm near the end of my first 100-foot bulk roll. Look forward to see your images in the other thread.
Charles and Valdas, happy shooting and let us know how you get along with the new N75!
p.s. Somebody, anybody, should try to shoot some ORWO N75 in a Nikon N75.

Well, it is funny, it's still iso 400 on the box...

So it's printed on, so can't be some labelling hangover from the last cans. How funny!

Interesting, thanks, Valdas! The Technical Information datasheet that Guy sent me specifically notes ISO 320:
I guess it's time for rehearsal screen tests by our forum members here! Or maybe they just took the average of the daylight and tungsten ratings.

Yes, I have the datasheet, it says 320. It’s probably mistake on the box... but... time to shoot and test it!

After going all round the country my N75 has just started its return journey to Germany without ever hitting my mail box.
The importer is clearly running things in an amateur way, not giving tracking numbers and taking days to reply to queries so I'm canning this experiment pro tem. A shame but there we are.

I have now shot and developed two rolls. There is really nothing to show so far I developed the first roll in xtol stock, but it seems the development time was a bit too short (7.30 min). The second one I shot in the bracketing mode (-1/+1 EV) and developed for 9 min. I guess it was a bit too long (maybe 8.30 is the way forward), but shots from both under and over exposures were quite usable.

Could you post one of each? Just super curious, that's all

As promised, posting some first images from ORWO N75 test roll. I already mentioned that first two rolls were a bit of failure. I guess my second roll was overdeveloped, so contrast/grain was not what I hoped for. On the other hand, the shooting was in quite high contrast light conditions which did not help. But I will keep on experimenting fine-tuning developing techniques, maybe will try another developer. Those three shots below were shot in bracketing mode - at box speed, + and - 1EV. Canon eos300, 40mm/2.8 lens. Xtol stock. 9 min.

Interesting results, Valdas, thanks for sharing! Look forward to seeing some more results.
Perhaps in related news, Lomography is launching pre-orders for their Berlin Kino "2019 Edition". Any bets that it's re-badged N75? Their development chart lists an oddly specific development time of 8 minutes and 7 seconds for HC-110(B).

That’s a guaranteed typo. 8’07” is not functionally different compared to 8’00”.

Seeing as it's Lomography, it might be a typo or it might not be. Just like the film, who knows?
They also call "distillation" instead of "dilution"...https://microsites.lomography.com/download/development_chart_bw_400_35_berlin_kino_2019_formula.pdf

Seems like an odd degree of precision for a crowd that sandpapers their lenses...
