It is part of the annual Ultra Large Format run.

They will if you place your order. You have until the 12th June to do so.

No you don't instead the total ULF order has to be large enough to allow Harman to cut a width from a master. If you order 2 you might only get one is the only caveat.

127 has been successful previous years, lots of people have saved backing paper...

PM or query Simon by new thread if you are concerned.

But as Ricardo mentions above you need to be quick.

As you are in the Netherlands, you might want to contact a dealer near you: De Beukelaer b. v.
Address and email are on the PDF.

You can't order direct from Ilford they only sell to resellers as Ricardo suggests.

k.hendrik · May 29, 2015

THANKS; I read to quick! but ordered already at B&H; friend of mine is coming from the US and takes it along. Last year i tried 'De Beukelaer' then they wouldn't order for me i try again.

There is a chap in the UK who sells 127 film and other odd formats (828!). I think he is cutting down 120 and presumably providing his own backing paper. I have some 127 on order and will report on how well the film performs.

k.hendrik · May 29, 2015

50ft is about 25x 127 film? I need more backing paper

You mean this guy: http://www.retrophotosupplies.com/shop.php?category=127+Film?

That is Rerapan packaged in Japan.

You can cut down 120 if you have a 127 as a template.

That is the chap. I assumed he is cutting his own as he also offers 828 and I am pretty sure that is not being made anymore. Or is it?

Do not overlook that Maco offers type 127 film as

-) C-41
-) b&w

right off the shelves.

Ektagraphic · May 30, 2015

Yes, but the 127 film Maco is offering is Rerapan for black and white, and the color is expired Redscale film. I am hoping that Maco is able to offer more 127 film in the near future.

dynachrome · May 30, 2015

I might cut down 120 backing paper to 127 size. On Monday I will try to order some of the 46mm film from one of the participating U.S. dealers.

Ektagraphic · May 30, 2015

I believe the 46mm film, if you are talking about the Ilford is part of the ULF special run

The colour film is not Redscale but Nightbird. And I have no hint that it is expired either.
In any case I reacted as the title says "127 film" and not "HP5 as 127 film".

Pioneer · May 30, 2015

Since there are still a few days left for me to add to my 11x14 sheet film order, does anyone have any recommendations for good 127 film rolling tutorials? If it doesn't look too intimidating I may order 2 or 3 rolls of the Ilford stock.

Arctic amateur · May 31, 2015

The Nightbird film is a redscale film. http://www.macodirect.de/films-colo...rmat-film-127brexp-date-june-2014-p-1957.html

***Exp. date June 2014*** in big bold letters is decent hint to me.

AgX · May 31, 2015

You are right at both points! Sorry.

Reading is gift not given to me. And I got confused by the many Maco terms.

But concerning the Nightbird film DIY-People still could twist it back again. That still would make it an option. Especially with it being a ISO 800 film (In contrast to that Redscale film that is a 400 ISO one.)

Ektagraphic · May 31, 2015

I didn't think about re-rolling the redscale, that's good idea.

I wish that Lomo (or anyone...I just think Lomo would be the most likely) would release a 127 camera to bring some more attention to this fun little format
