It was made up in two formats, for 35mm and medium format cameras. The 35mm film was also available by the meter. However, supplies of medium format film did not last as long as those of 35mm film.
The Rollei Retro 100 should not be confused with the similar sounding Rollei Retro 100 Tonal. The Tonal is a completely different film.
