11x14 film availability?

Downingfan · May 2, 2012

Besides HP5, does anyone know where I could find 11x14 film anymore? All my searches came up blank. I have a box of BPF200 in the freezer. Was just about to start shooting tests. 6 months ago there seemed to be several sources, now none.

Ilford's ULF film run has just commenced. Have a look a View Camera Store etc. for these (it'll mean a few months' wait, though).

Have you considered trying Xray film?

Freestyle lists FP4+ as well as HP5+ and Efke 100, the latter out of stock but expected Jun 1. I can't seem to post a link that includes the search parameters. But if you just go to their sheet film page you can select 11x14 and it will show you all that they carry:

Efke 100 is a damn-fine film. I've shot it in 8x10 and 4x5, and in Pyrocat-HD, that stuff sings! Printed onto Lodima(azo) G3 in MAS amidol, great tones, and once "set" for your ISO rating(I use ISO 50), its pretty much good to go.

Thanks!

I am using the Pyrocat HD developer for the Bergger film I have and will be ordering the Lodima paper when I settle on size.

thanks- I saw the out of stock and didn't see anything that noted the in stock date.

There is a good thread on LFPF on using Xray film for ULF. Have you read it?

Really, really cheap alternative to "regular" B&W film...
