I bought mine from
Spürsinn, but they can also be had directly from
Maco.
Another try (same afternoon,same spotmatic, same super-multi-coated Tak 1:3,5/35:
Rollei redbird is processed in standard c-41. The film actually is a normal colour negative film loaded "the other way" - that is, with the emulsion to the back of the camera. The different colur layers of a film act as filters, and if you reverse them, you get funny colour deviations.
If you have a darkroom and can load film cartridges yourself, you could easily make your own redscale film. I can't (and am too lazy), so I buy them ready-to-use.
Another interesting film is the rollei crossbird - actually an old Agfa colour slide emulsion on a plastic carrier. The manufacturer labels the cartridges as c-41, so your standard lab will automatically cross-process them. Think I posted an example some months ago.
