I could be mistaken, but from what I've read Rollei Retro 100 and 400 is
the exact same thing as the last formulation (post 2003) of APX. Retro
is either being made in the same plant as APX, or it's existing APX
stock that's been relabeled. That according to sources on APUG. The
Retro I bought is labeled "Made in Germany", so it makes sense.

New films? I'm still working on film that's not even being made anymore.
   
  After a year or so of messing with it, this past July I finally
figured out how to get APX 400 to do what I want. So I bought 1000 feet
of the last batch made, to go with what's left of the 300 20exp. rolls I
got in October 06. 
   
  When that's gone I'll try the new Tmax. How does it do in D-76 1:1?
