HP6 and FP5 Announced

[ajuk]

That made you look!

Edit, tried to delete this myself, didn't realize I couldn't

Yup, you made me look. But first, I looked at a calendar to see if it was still April first.

By the way, I heard from a friend of a friend (who read it on the internet) that HP6 and FP5 will be offered in 35mm cassettes of 22 and 34 exposure. And the cassettes will glow-in-the-dark for easier handling in the darkroom. Won't that be cool!

I can't wait for Kodak Four-X, Doubleplus-X, T-Ultra, and Fuji ExtraMegaSuperOvertheTopRichSaturatedSmoothSexySilkyCool.

This topic got my hopes up and then dashed them. I demand them returned.

Sorry to hear that you have dashed hopes. Is there a reason? Are you hoping that FP4 and HP5 be changed in some way?

Re: getting hopes back... they say "hope springs eternal" (whatever that means). Here is a source of hope - drink freely!

Any announcements to do with analog photography always gets my hopes up, out of curiosity for the most part. Beats reading a 3 page preview of the new Canon 400D in a photography magazine. Time to subscribe to Emulsion, I think.

Don't bet on it - I have a couple of boxes of HP3 in 5x4, still in working condition!
I've also got quite a bit of HP4, and that still works too.
Both a little foggy, but still usable.

I was given them when a studio closed a while back, and thought I'd give them a whirl. I was amazed.

Ahh Simon Now that you are here. How is the film availability in 13X18 cm?
Cheers. I can't quite figure out the product sheets on the Ilford website.
As for the webstores I have visited its kind of "now its here, now its not"?
Somehow the lists I have seen are more or less outdated.
Cheers

Simon,
Any news yet on a decision go no go on the Delta 25 film?

And to think my last dashed hopes were when I found a box of 8x10 SuperXX at work this week, and then discovered it had been cut into odd-ball sizes to contact print acrylamide gels.

Oh well, it was only SuperXX. Had it been HP5 I might have been actually upset.
