Hi,
if you read the German catalog from Fotoimpex, they don't even try
to keep it a secret that Classpicpan is identical to Fortepan. They
also sell ORWO as repackaged Ilford (FP4, HP5) and Turapan as repackaged
Agfa.
My translations from the catalog:
"There are no other films with such a linear sensibility as the Classicpan
(except of course the "Classicpanes in other clothes" as for example
the Fortepan :-)... )"
"The new ORWOPAN 125 is practically not to distinguish from the FP4+.
.. The technical datas are identical."
"The new ORWOPAN 400 is practically not to distinguish from the HP5+.
.. The technical datas are identical."
"... Tura is confectioning material from a large German company with
seat in Leverkusen (my note: AGFA is from Leverkusen) ... The Turapan
150 is very similar to the APX100, the Turapan 400 is very similar
to the APX400. The exposure and development tables, other technical
data, actually everything ;-) corresponds 1:1."
