so thats what ORWO meant. When I was in training (mid 1960s) I was
introduced to some 120 Adox asa 20 or 25... good fun stuff. What
happened to Adox?
Also, back then, I encountered printing paper by Ferrania of Italy. Now,
Clark Photo is selling a house C41 35mm, cheap, that's Ferrania. Have
they any rollfilms?
Several years ago, a Pop Photo article stated the Chinese love
photography, and like rollfilm cameras (like their Seagulls. As Chinese
35mm film is here (I've bought it; it feels like Kodacolor from 15 years
ago), where are the roll films?
