Rollei Retro = APX still?

[jrong]

Does anyone know if the rolls of Rollei Retro 100 (sold in those beautiful beechwood boxes) are still really Agfa APX 100?

Just wondering. I developed a roll of Retro with the same times as APX, and the characteristics were very similar, the only difference was that Retro was very curly!!!

Yes, it's just that the 120 is cut from the master rolls used for 35mm. So there is a little bit more base+fog because of the incorporated anti-halo dyes, and the film tends to curl. But I've printed it, and it's really APX.

As far as I know yes. If you want the real thing and are prepared to use bulk film is is still being sold:
