diane_kaye2 Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Does anyone know of a current U.S. source of ORWO fiber papers/films?(Freestyle has only a little RC left in their catalog.) I've sent a request to the corporate website. I'd be willing to buy some older Orwo graded fiber---it has a good shelf life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janez_pelko1 Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 ORWO is now selling under different name, I think it is called WEB. Here in Europe many different papers are still available, try to contact dealer for Slovenia cumulus@cumulus.si, www.cumulus.si for more details.

mark_kallfass Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 You can also get ORWO Films&Papers&Chemicals there: URL:http://www.wephota.de/wephota/papierix.htm ORWO is now called Wephota - it is ORWO`s old manufaktory at Wernigerode (now Banse&Grohmann).

david_f._stein Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 I have bought the B+G film from Lotus View Camera in Austria-good prices and service-even with shipping to US it comes to about the same as Arista/Ilford/Kodak from Freestyle. The Wephoto paper is also superb and the B+G films use the same numbering system (NP22, etc.) as ORWO (original Wolfen). I sent an e-mail from the Wephoto site but it was not answered. Another source is www.fotoimpex.de or ask someone in Europe to purchase and mail to you here in the US. Efke and Fomapan films are also outstanding. Efke, I believe, has 2 retouching surfaces, which may be an advantage in flatbed scanning re: Newton's Rings. To summarize: I have found Efke, Fomapan and B+G (Orwo) to be "as good as it gets" traditional emulsions.
