Seems like they don't pull out the numbers for standard 35/120 film like they did for instant, so it's not really clear if there was any uptick there or not - or what impact Acros II had. Even without knowing that, it's still nice to see that analog stuff is still doing well. Last I saw, Kodak was sharing similar news even after the announcement on reintroducing P3200, and recently CineStill brings out 400D (Dynamic), meaning the world of film doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Even ORWO came back from the dead, with the Wolfen NP100 ISO 100 black-and-white 35mm film. The only thing I do not like: " The cost is $11 for each roll of 36 exposures". I would like to think that this is a newly developed emulsion, because if it is the same emulsion from the old days, then I like the price even less.

Interesting about ORWO, and a peek at their other page - www.orwo.shop/en-us - shows that there's also a new color film "Coming Soon", but not yet ready for pre-order. I have to agree about the higher prices, but it's also something that may be unavoidable in times where short runs (50,000 cartridges, in ORWO's case) are the only financially viable production runs possible, without wasting capital on something that may expire from extended 'shelf sitting' times from slow or no sales. I'd prefer the older prices too, and since I no longer shoot professionally, the higher costs do tend to sting a bit since I can't pass on the cost to clients. Having said that, I also know that the only way to keep film around is to continue to buy it at somewhat elevated prices... at least (hopefully) for the short run, until digital shooter discover what they're missing if it goes away permanently.
