Has anyone used these strange films? Information about them is hard to find. I can only find some press blurb in German (which I can read), but that doesn't explain to me what these films actually DO, other than giving strange color shifts.

Hi Ronald,
Rollei Nightbird: It is an ISO 800/30° color negative film, which is reversed spooled into the cartridge for the "redscale effect" (look at the redscale forums at flickr.).
This film gives a yellow color shift if under exposed, and a deep orange to red color shift if correctly exposed.
Rollei Redbird: Same as Nightbird, but with ISO 400/27°. Colors are a bit different, with longer exposure times the colors get warmer, with shorter development times a bit colder with stronger color shifts.
You can influence the color shifts by the shutter speeds. This is unique.
Look at the Rollei Redbird pool at flickr.
These films are designed for photographers who like color experiments and redscale photography.
Rollei Crossbird: This is the same film as Rollei Digibase CR200 (and that is the original Agfa RSX II Emulsion, coated on a PET base by Agfa-Gevaert in Belgium).
That film is quite popular for Cross-Processing, therefore this "Crossbird" is dedicated for photographers who like cross-processing in C-41.
If you develop Crossbird in E-6 you get normal Rollei CR200 (Agfa RSX II 200) slides.
Because this film (Nightbird and Redbird too) is offered also in 127 format, this is an ideal film for the classic 4x4 "Super-Slide", which can be projected in normal 35mm projectors. Super-Slide is back.
Hope these informations are helpful for you.
Best regards,
Jan

良かったね！
I got bored and ran a roll of fuji 800 backwards. Really have to overexpose it. Fun to try once.
