Rollei Pan 25

[MXP]

I have just ordered some Rollei Pan 25 in 24x36 and 120. Before I did this I asked for some information on what kind of film it was. Where it was produced etc. I wanted a fine grained film which could be developed in standard developers as I use a lab for this. In this forum there has been some Rollei film discussions. Here are the informations I got from 3 different emails directly from the source (Maco).

the Maco and the Rollei Films are from different production plants.
Today our assortment of ROLLEI BRAND films is mostly made by Agfa Gevaert AG, Belgium.
Yes, there is a difference between the brands.

Please divide between Agfa Leverkusen/Germany with at least 1.900 employees
and Agfa Gevaert AG, Antwerp/Belgium with at moment 15.000. (!). See:
www.agfa.com


Our Rollei Pan 25 and Ortho 25 films are fresh made by Agfa Gevaert AG.

For STANDARD development you can use the Rollei Pan 25 only .

What for a world - it´s internet time.....

Nobody has a reason to dream about old fashoin styled films
- when the successor out of the same factory - different production plant -
is still available !

We are able to follow Agfa Pan 25 since may years with the Maco Pan 25,
and now, (2004) with a better quality, as Rollei Pan 25.

I am not trying to sell the film. Just trying to give some useful information
