Dear All,
The Board of HARMAN technology Limited today approved the 2014 ULF run under the same terms as previous years.
Perhaps substitute FP4+ for HP5+ in the 46mm rolls?
HP5+ is too fast for most classic 127 cameras.
Thank you, Bill

Let's spread the word about 122 rollfilm for Kodak 3A cameras! It was on last year's list, but we didn't get enough folks for the minimum order.
What was the minimum? And how close did it come? And what was the cost per roll a year ago?
Against all reason, I've had my eye on a 3A. I must be crazy. It's the film requirement holding me back. The camera is in nice condition and could be an occasional gentle novelty user. Just want to know if I must sell my children to feed it. I must be crazy...

I also ordered a roll of 122 last year, but didn't get it. How many was that for this thread alone? (couldn't afford 2, sorry.)
How about an ordering system with a second chance option? Order product A (in this case a 122 roll), and if that doesn't meet the minimum, only then switch to product B (perhaps the 9cm FP4+, which would be rather less expensive as a bonus).
I should point out, the film stock doesn't have to be exactly as wide as the backing paper, so the 9cm would work almost as well as the 122. I've taken apart a couple rolls of 125 (3B) size roll film to see how it's made. What they did to make this was use the actual 122 stock (I measured it), but wound it on a 103 spool, which is almost exactly 5mm wider than the 122 spool, and widened the backing paper to match the spool. This leaves you with film that's just a tiny bit narrower than its backing paper. If Kodak could make that work, then I can use the 9cm stock in 122 backing paper instead of the 91.75mm stock that didn't wind up being manufactured due to insufficient demand. I've also loaded 105mm microfiche stock in 123 spools, which are almost 15mm wider, with home-made backing paper, and made that work as well.
(though now I can't develop the stuff... no darkroom at the moment, and the largest daylight tank I have is the ancient Kodak Film Tank's malodourous celluloid apron, which only fits up to 122.)
I know this has more than likely been asked before (I can't be the first), but is there any chance of Delta3200 in 4x5? Just in the size where we really need narrow apertures, and big grain doesn't matter so much as in the smaller formats, and there's only ei400 available from anywhere.
I could swing maybe $200 worth, for that cash 50-100 sheets ($2-4 per sheet) would be nice but if I only get 25-35 or so ($6-8/sheet) I could probably still justify that as worth it for a film that nice...
edit: ps, ditto PanF50 in sheets (I know that's been asked before, but I'll add my vote)
FYI I doubt they would make a D3200 sheet, but it's always good to make your voice heard, however just FYI I've discovered that HP5+ pushes to 3200 beautifully, much better than I had expected (with DD-X). Also, why would you need such a fast film on a sheet film camera that would normally be on a tripod anyway?

but you have problems with 3200 and 120 curl?
look at the 3200 data sheet for base thickness.

Using a standard Press 25 flashbulb in a Graflite on a 4x5 Graphic loaded with ISO3200 film forces a minimum aperture f/32 subject distance of 35.36 feet. That's WAY to far away for any successful Weegee dead body shots. Even at a massacre.

Dear All,
The Board of HARMAN technology Limited today approved the 2014 ULF run under the same terms as previous years.
The product offerings will remain the same as 2013 ILFORD Delta Professional Sheet Film, in some sizes / HP5+ and FP4+ Sheet Film in all sizes. HARMAN technology Limited guarantee to make all sheet film sizes even if it for a single pack. Other items such as roll items will appear on the list but certain minimum orders wioll need to be achieved. The full list will be published in March ( but much the the same as the 2013 final list ) then customers can request other sizes. The Finalised list will be published in April, we will then work with our re-seller partners ( who make this all happen ) to obtain orders by the end of June. The production run takes place end of July / early August and the goods are shipped to the re-sellers via our Distributors. For North America this means distribution in September 2014.
We thank all of you who buy, use and value ILFORD Photo products produced on the ULF and Custom manufacture.

Yeah, but shooting f/8 hyperfocal at ei3200 with a yellow filter in fading afternoon light makes for some nice street shots on 135 and 120, if only I could make them work on 4x5 too...
(also, in dimly lit venues I get 1/60 at f/1.9 at ei3200 with my m645. If I could use my Xenar 135/3.5 wide open at ei6400 I could get a handholdable 1/30s. The grain won't show up too much and I don't think HP5 will make it up that far)
