Dear All,

If we get the order for any of the listed products we make it even if its just one.

Dang, I wish I was set up to do ULF work using these materials. It's going to be a few years until I'm ready to own a big honkin' view camera (or any other view camera, for that matter). I hope my fellow APUGers keep it going until then!

All sizes are supposed to be available to all retailers. Best to check with your choosen retailer though.

7x17 is common enough that a minimum order should be easily reached for Ilford. Many, including myself, are just waiting to the end of the subscription period.

Yet that being said, TMY 7x17 didn't meet minimum last year for Glazier's September offer.

So if it for some reason Ilford does not get the reservations for 7x17, you can contact them through a dealer to buy an entire run (Kodak's price was approximately $13,500 last year to get a 7x17 TMY order done for one person).

Don, Simon has just reaffirmed that they will fill any order, even if it's only one box.

This is an extraordinary commitment on their part. Whatever happens with individual formats, I hope that there will be enough orders overall to make this year's cut profitable for Harman - they've certainly bent over backward to address our needs here.

 

[Jim Noel]

my order combined with that of my friends will be going in today or tomorrow. Although I probably have enough to last for another year. I think it wise that we stay a little bit ahead of the game and that Simon know there is a continuing interest. I appreciate Simon and his firm keeping our craft alive

Thanks, Simon! That will help out many of the odd format users.

I keep 7x17 in stock as a regular stock item. I usually have both HP5 and FP4 in stock.

All the more reason to support Ilford-Harman as much as possible even if one never uses ULF film!

Hello, Would it be possible to get HP5 cut for my Graflex 3x4 camera? Is there an item number for it?thanks

I would also appreciate HP5 for my 3x4 Graflex.

 

[waynecrider]

I would definitely buy some 3.25x4.25 in any version.

Big Thanks for Ilford!

Thanks Again Ilford.

I always thought this was for Ultra Large Format (ULF), but now I am reading the post I see it is for smaller sizes as well.
I would love some 3x4 for my Graflex like others have indicated. I would like to get my hands on some 6.5x9 too.

I will have to pay more attention when this comes around next again next year.

Some dealers order extra stock, so check with the dealers in the list.

 

[Oren Grad]

Just heard from Jeff Taugner at Badger that my order is in.

Many thanks to Ilford/Harman!

I got a call a couple of days ago from The View Camera Store that my FP4+ 2x3" is on the way.

Better make some freezer space.

 

[Don12x20]

Big thanks to Ilford!
Mine arrive today via UPS and Badger Graphics.

 

[Rob Skeoch]

Hey, If anyone needs whole plate I have both fp4 and hp5 in stock.

Thank you Ilford and Badger Graphics

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

I just got back to NYC last night and was pleased to find 10 boxes of 2.25x3.25" FP4+, exp. May 2012, waiting for me, and it even has a normal label like any regular production sheet film and a proper sized box. Thanks!

I received my Ilford order but I have heard from a number of ULF shooters that ordered ULF sheet film and were told by their distributors that their sheet film was not received and they were getting a refund. I find this absolutely unacceptable.

In a market where film sales are challenged one would think that Simon at Ilford would perform some customer service and contact these people so that the issues of non-performance could be favorably resolved.

We can do better than this.....

My are on the way.... View camera store sent them same days ago.

Agreed. If this is true, it is quite disturbing. Simon hasn't posted anything since July, but he has been logging in according to his profile. I hope something is not amiss.

I know of one individual who received his U-ULF flim right on time. Perhaps it was the distributor and not Ilford.
