2013 ULF Manufacture From ILFORD Photo / HARMAN technology Limited


Agreed. It is time for film shooters to "put their money where there mouth is" and support Ilford. No company anywhere is doing more to keep film alive than Ilford. Every roll of b & w film shot on Kodak or Fuji is one less modicum of support for Ilford.

I LOVE Acros film, but once my supply runs out, I'm going to move towards Ilford. Once my supply of Tri-X is out, I am done with it. Fuji's support of film is moderate and Kodak's is nonexistent.
 

Yea, I agree, however fuji has both Velvia which I love and Acros which actually I don't love, but the reciprocity failure rate is what I love, if Ilford could match that with some new FP5 ("FP4++"? hmm maybe "FP4Super"! I would never need any other B&W film at least.

PS Simon... Fuji is discontinuing all their 220 rolls... if you can give them a low ball offer for their currently running equipment for that, now's the time I know you said it wasn't viable to do as a new production investment, but buying out fuji who will probably toss it in the garbage otherwise might be worth it perhaps?
 
The best thing you can do to support Ilford is to actively support the entire industry. Buying and using and printing Kodak film helps Ilford and Fuji and Tetenal and Oriental and Moersch and ....

I had the same idea about QuickLoad finishing equipment, hoping for Delta 100 packets. Unfortunately, even if Fuji were willing to sell it to HARMAN (most unlikely), the cost of disassembly, transport to Mobberley and reassembly would be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not economically viable given the small potential market size and limits on what users would be willing pay for the product.

I suspect similar circumstances prevail with respect to Fuji's 220 finishing equipment.
 

That's true, when I was at Dwayne's, he told me that they were trying to GIVE AWAY the machine that processed Kodachrome and a few museums were interested until they found out the size and the cost of disassembly and transport etc, and so I think it ended up going to the dump ... I can't be sure of course I never called to confirm but as of the last day of official acceptance of film, they hadn't found anyone to take it. I guess that's possible with this too, it was worth mentioning though.

The BEST way to support ILFORD is to buy ILFORD products.
 

Now there's an idea - Delta 100 (and 400, pleaseplease!) and/or FP4+ and HP5+ in QL. XP2 Super in QL!

Then I woke up.
 
If Iford/Harman is or will consider cutting 3 5/8 ths film for next years ULF Event, then I'll put an order in for 6-100 foot rolls of HP5+ if the cost per roll is between $100.00 and $150.00. if more than that I'd half to cut the order in half.

Thanks for the update! Fingers crossed that this size might make the list...
 
Thanks, once again, Simon,

It would be great if Ilford also offered many of these ULF sizes in Delta 400.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ilford offer it years ago, when the Delta line was first introduced. 13cmx18cm comes to mind.

Bill
 

That would work for me.

So I'm confused, where do I buy the 70mm? You said FP4+ and HP5+ right? I don't want to miss out... Where do I find prices? And in what quantities? I've never been part of this so some of my knowledge is lacking here. Thanks!
 
We publish all the information in April and then our ULF re-seller partners get all the information and confirmation of prices from our distributor and you then contact the ULF re-seller partner to place an order. We will make sure you do not get left behind or miss out !

I have another request 46mm bulk roll film in HP5+ or FP4+? This can be used to hand re-roll into 127 roll film spools. Any chance?

Yes but it would need a minimum, I will publish that later.

FP4+ film sheets in 18x24 centimeters format ??


Hello Simon,
I'll support Ilford (see also: (there was a url link here which no longer exists) and (there was a url link here which no longer exists)).

And could Ilford please support me? I could use 18x24 cm sheets of FP4+ film (centimeters, not inches) for my old Russian FKD camera.


Thank you!

Hi Simon,
Thank you for the quick reply.
Maybe I missed something, but how, where and when am I supposed to order?
(I live in The Netherlands).
Bert
 
I also would buy a 100 ft roll of 46mm, any style.

Very interested to learn what the minimum would be.
 
The list of our ULF re-seller partners will be published in April

Hi Simon,
Thank you for the thread. I left a message on your answer machine earlier today, then I realised that it would be more effective to contact to you via APUG.
You have mentioned that Ilford is not interested in producing 70mm perforated film. Martin Reed at Silverprint wrote about this possibility four years ago. I talked to Martin recently. He said that that time he could not find enough photographers to order a small batch of just 60(!) 30m rolls.
I was about to buy 10 150’ rolls of out-of-dated Kodak Double X (2405) from “that Canadian guy” and some Fujichrome Duplicating from Siverprint or Process Supplies in London (it gives surprisingly natural beautiful colour when C-41 processed), when noticed this thread.
Simon, could you please explain what the “excessive waste” is, and why it is not viable to coat 70mm perforated. What is the bare minimum Ilford would be interested to produce?
Also regarding 35mm. As I could not afford to shoot on photographic film at current prices, I bought recently two 400’ rolls of Kodak Double X (5222) movie film for £84 (+VAT) each. 400’ is equivalent of around 73 cartridges (36 exp.).
Simon, are you able to sell 35mm film in cans of 400’ or 1000’?
Thank you,
Oleg
 
If there is a possibility for 70mm perforated production I would certainly place an order. I have a ex-aerial panoramic camera that can consume 1-4'/sec of film. That adds up rather quickly! Depending, of course, on the price I would likely order a number (~5) 150' to 250' rolls.
