Maybe this is old news to many of you, but I was so happy when I read about=
=20
the new b&w film from Maco/Rollei, the Rollei R3, that I have to share with=
=20
the list.
In these days, when Ilford is troubled and Agfa stops manufacturing 120=20
film, it is so good to see that some are interested in developing new=20
products for the b&w film market.
Some links about the new film:

News from Photokina from a Swedish photo shop. The 120 film rolls can be=20
seen in the wooden box (it's yours if you buy 68 rolls of 120 film or 61=20
rolls of 135 film) in the second picture from the top:

The film doesn't seem to be cheap, but if it is as good as it promises it=20
might be worth the dough. Even if it is mostly hype, I do applaude the=
effort.
It would be very interesting to learn about experiences with this film as=20
soon as list members try it. I'll try and get a hold of some rolls as soon=
=20
as it is available in Sweden.
