Saw this announcement over on APUG:
"Fotoimpex in Berlin has announced that they plan to reintroduce AGFA MCC and MCP (under slightly different names, probably Adox), as well as APX 100 and 400 and maybe APX 25 in the next years under their name. Apparently they bought recipes and know-how and are working with former Agfa employees. For those who can read German, the announcement on their forum is here:
http://www.fotolaborforum.eu/index.php?showtopic=1772
Introduction for "Adox" MCC is now listed as April 2008, MCP August-November 2007."
This is not another rumor, as one of the actual owners of Fotoimpex came on board to give more details regarding the factory and rollout dates.
As a hand colorist and wannabe bromoil artist, I am over the moon to think I could get my hands on the old Agfa MCC 188 paper again!! :cheer: THE best paper on the market for those uses, and I still flounder looking for decent replacements. This is indeed a banner day for alt geeks like me.
I've not ever used the APX films, so I didn't miss it as acutely as the paper when Agfa folded.
