New super 8 b&w stock by Adox ?

Hi,
I found this information here :

I looked at the Adox site, which has an English option. I didn't see anything about Super 8 -- what does the board say that's not on the site?

The board says that it is in the final stages of coming to the market. But it doesn't say what format. I have heard from another source that at this stage it is going to be super 8. But I suspect it is going to be 16mm as well.
It is very good news that another manufacturer is going to make a super 8 stock available.
There is a lot of discussion in that forum over the question of whether Adox might produce a colour emulsion. There is a statement from Adox that says that while the big manufacturers are producing colour film it is very unlikely that they (Adox) would be able to compete. A number of posters are reading a lot into those few words from Adox about the possibility of colour.
But a 'new' black and white option is a great eventuality.

Adox makes some very beautiful B+W film for still cameras. I hope they make their 25 ASA stock available In DS-8mm and R-8mm, that would be sweet.

This is exactly what I thought would happen as the big boys decline in production. Innovative smaller companies will step in with lower costs and fill-in the gaps.

Hi,

the new super8-b&w-stock (PAN-X Reverso, 100 ASA, Reversal b&W in a new cart) will be presented at the photokina: http://adox.de/page82/index.html
(On the Adox' English webpage, the film is yet only mentioned under "photokina news": http://www.adox.de/english/index.html )
