producing these for Rollei.
As I know, MACO ist not producing the film, but have buy "old" films
from Agfa...and sell it under the Rollei name.

I remember some rumblings about Ilford considering a slow,
super-fine grain emulsion that would ease some of the TechPan and APX
angst. Has anyone heard anything lately?

No, but one of the new Rollei films is being touted as as APX-25
replacement.

Anyone tried it?

I miss the Scala already! Anyone know where there is a source for
Scala? I need about 20 rolls in 120!

Thanks Stéphane. I also caught another news item yesterday that these
Rollei Retro films are from a purchase of APX100 and APX400 emulsions.
They apparently will have enough for many many thousands of rolls of 35
mm and 120 films for both emulsions.

Ciao!

Yes. They are developing Delta 25. Still a year or so away from release
though. Go to www.apug.org and do a search in the forums for it.

I miss Konica IR. Only one roll left in the freezer
