Rollei Retro 100 a.k.a. Agfa APX100

[venchka]

* Currently, you can buy Rollei Retro 100 and 400, which are leftovers of APX 100 and 400. However, it seems that the 120 is cut from the master rolls on 35mm base, hence the grayishness, and slight curl.

I was so close to buying a box or two of the Rollei Retro 100-120. However, the statement above stopped me in my tracks. Are the problems mentioned above fatal flaws? Annoying? Picture destroying? Minor inconvenience? Hardly noticeable? Should I go on an buy the film and love it?

An enquiring mind wants to know. Yes or No? Buy or Don't buy? If I don't buy the Rollie Retro 100, I'm going to stock up on Fujifilm 120 Neopan 100 Acros. Unless y'all talk me out of it.

I thought the Rollei Retro came from Maco but I think they only cut it. This may help:
