I got the following message off CIS for Mike:

  All,

     A few people have expressed interest in obtaining film for their old box 

cameras and the like. I and several others have printed the address of Film 
For Classics several times. From the net, I obtained some more information. 
This time, it is about the importation of EFKE (formally ADOX) film from 
Croatia. Apparently, they are producing and exporting film again. This is 
printed with the permission of the author, but he did not wish his E-Mail 
address to be published:

Dear 127 Fans:

Here's the whole story on EFKE 127 B&W film:

I contacted EFKE in Croatia, and they gave me the name 
of their US importer... I had the impression from their 
letter that there is only one importer, but that may not 
be the case.  

This company, Marida Trading in San Francisco, is NOT 
doing direct mail-order.  They are importing ONLY 127-
size, only in ASA 100 speed.  (I believe that is the 
only speed that EFKE is making in 127 format.)  They 
just recieved a shipment, expiration date Jan. 1998.

Marida Trading sells ALL of their 127 to a retailer, 
Photographer's Supply, on Fulsom Street in San 
Francisco.  The store's number is 415-495-8640.  
Photogrpaher's Supply sells the stuff by mail-order for 
$2.75/roll, plus a $3.00 handling charge per order, plus 
shipping.
