I'm lucky enough to have been offered a http://www.graflex.org/speed-graphic/miniature-speed-graphic.html on a try before-you-buy basis. If I'm keen, I hope to bodge-up a rollfilm back conversion for this, but in the mean time I hear that 2 x 3 sheet film is still available, and need some to give the camera a whirl but cant find anywhere (after a fairly lazy web search) in the uk .... does anyone know where I can get some from??

Which of the many 2x3 sizes is it? Anyway, ask retrophotographic.

There's a "real" 2x3", a 2¼x3¼, 2¼x3½, 2½x3½, and 6.5x9cm. And all of these come in both plate size (exact) and film size (1 to 1.5 mm smaller on all sides).

I have a few very nice little "universal film and plate holders" which take 3 different film sizes and one plate size in the same holder. Now I'm looking or a camera they'll fit...

If it's a Graflex, it's probably 2¼x3¼". Sorry to have caused you confusion, but it was fully intentional.
