HP5 8x10 film is really staring to annoy me.

Hello Eddie.,

I know it is my problem I was being a smartass, but I was kind of hoping

I posted this to see if any one else experienced a similar issue with the 2008 Sept emulsion. I really want to know.

I have sent Simon a PM and awaiting a response. I can send a sheet of two without a problem but not the box as I got a deadline to meet.

Thanks,

kev

Being a smartass myself, I can identify.
Good luck with your shoot.

...it is confirmed 125 is the film speed I am getting out of the SEPT 2008 emulsion while DEC and OCT 2007 gave me 200...

Late thought: what's the notch code on SEPT 2008? Might some FP4 Plus have sneaked into an HP5 Plus box?

I never thought of that. I will have to check when I expose a few sheets laster this week. Thanks!

Dear Kevin,

I realise that this must be quite a nuisance for you, and I do not mean to be argumentative, or a complete *ss.

But, if you are a professional, I hope you have the financial means to handle a batch of defective film, either by buying another box of HP5 or switch to a different manufacturer. After all, it's upon you as a entrepreneur to see to it that a job pays, even if setbacks occur.

I really hope things work out OK after all.

Best reagards

Simon, my hat is off to you once more....always there and always trying to do the right thing. Ilford does seem to care, and that is a good thing for all of us.

Exactly right.
