I had seen it, but the price per roll is quite stiff. The website is a bit confusing, I couldn't find out if they supply B&W films in bulk.
But I quite enjoyed their 1960 commercial:

Not sure if this has been mentioned

I know this one started out as a bit of a problem for Orwo. They wanted to re-issue the film, they had settled a contract with a coating company, they had secured everything. But after delivering the first batch, the subcontractor folded... so they have only a single batch of the film and they have to re-source everything once more.

I think that shows in the stiff prices of the film.
