Gorgeous stuff, as the East Germans comprehensively ignored all of those environmental laws which caused Kodak and AGFA and Ilford and their ilk to dramatically reduce the quantities of silver compounds in their products.. ............... I used to buy ORWO films from Freestyle years ago. When I was in India in 1999 I found them for sale at less than a buck a roll for 100 speed b&w. The film was a classic emulsion similar to Plus-X. I shot a lot of it and wish I could get it here in CA again. Another Indian brand of 100 B&W was also aavailable. The box said made in Germany but there was no imprint on the frame margins. These are good films to take pics of those 1953 Morris (Ambassador) taxis and 1957 Enfield 500cc singles they still make in India. Bill Lawlor
