120 also appears to be there but no 4x5.

I miss the old Bergger 200. It was a really nice fillm for 4x5.

its surprising to see 8x10 but not 4x5. They've been the only place in the US with stock in 120 for some time, and I've been bugging Blue Moon to bug Bergger to replenish their sheet film. So I'm hopeful that 4x5 and 5x7 will reappear soon.

As much as I want this stuff in 8x10, it's sadly way out of my price range. Once you convert US$209 to $Cdn, plus duties, taxes, shipping.... I'm hoping we'll see it in 4x5 SOON! For the little bit of 120 that I have shot, I quite like it...

I won't be buying it again either - pre-pandemic it was priced at about $110 a box, but now its so much closer to the price of Ilford's offerings, so I see no compelling reason to choose it.
NOTE: the expiration date of the current boxes of Pancro 400 is June of 2025! That's a very short window of time for a film that has just reappeared after a four year absence.

Blue Moon has been selling the 120 and 35mm for maybe 2 years, and the prices on 120 (I haven't paid attention to 35mm) are prettr cheap--$7 and change for Bergger vs $9 and change for HP5+. Its a bit cheaper in 8x10, but not by the same amount. But then, I shoot the Bergger film because I like it, not because its cheap.
