Ilford "Something is coming"

[Cholentpot]

Of course, the return of Ilfochrome!

Nah, it's probably just a new disposable camera with FP4+ in it.

Joking aside, I'm inclined to agree with this one.

 

[Pioneer]

They should partner with Intrepid to produce a complete developing and printing kit.

 

[Huss]

A half frame camera to compete with the incomparable Kodak Ektar H35.

 

[AnselMortensen]

Maybe the return of 220 film?

Oh, YES, please!
XP-2+ in sheet form would be welcome, too!

 

[Sirius Glass]

Maybe the return of 220 film? Should I be checking eBay for a 220 adaptor back for my Mamiya C33?

Oh yes, with Kodachrome film, HIE, Plus-X and gas at 29¢ a gallon. That would also make you fifty years younger with all the mental and physical attributes of a younger age.

It depends on whether a) you need to shoot 24 exposures between rolls, or b) you do not like to change rolls after 12 exposures.

Query: Can commercial film processors handle 220?

 

[AnselMortensen]

Fab,
Yes, many labs can still process 220.

At more then twice the price of 120 film generally. So one gets to pay more than twice for the film as well as the processing and has the advantage of not being able to use most of the available 120 films. So pay more and have few choices of films! What more could one ask for?

 

[PinkPony]

Ilford Delta 25!

 

[albireo]

New film coming: Kentmere 100 and 400 in 120.

I'd LOVE to be 50 years younger. Those films would be great to have back, too.

But gas at 29¢ a gallon? I WISH! In Canada, gas is sold by the litre; current prices in the Ottawa Valley are around CA$1.50/litre. At current exchange rates, that would be about US$4.13/US gallon.

Here's a link to a response I made to a post, March 2008: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/agfa-time-machine…-now-boarding…-track-2.37167/

 

[Philippe-Georges]

Perhaps a 'new' CIBACHROME- aka ILFOCHROME paper?

I would be interested in this, but seems unlikely. Harman would need to do some kind of collaboration with Adox I would have thought as Switzerland (ex ILFORD) has the coating facility for this product.

 

[Tom Kershaw]

Ilford Delta 25!

This was seriously considered by the management buyout era of ownership.

 

[railwayman2]

Perhaps a take-over bid for Kodak ? Or vice versa ?

 

[AnselMortensen]

Maybe they bought the formula and rights to make HIE, preferably in 5x7?

 

[cmacd123]

I prefer yyyymmdd as that sorts even better for the system admin work I used to do.

Chris

yes, that is also the international (ISO 8601 ) standard. see: https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/ISO-date-format

 

[Oldwino]

New film coming: Kentmere 100 and 400 in 120.

I like this one.

 

[Melvin J Bramley]

That's what I hope for; oops maybe not I just converted my Mamiya 645 220 inserts to 120!!

I cant imagine 220 is going to make a comeback. But maybe 120 pro packs will be a thing and we can get a discount for saving them the cardboard?

 

[Wallendo]

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Santa Claus.

SantaColor 100 is a 'new' 35mm film repurposed from aerial surveillance stock

Repurposed from aerial surveillance film stock, SantaColor 100 promises punchy reds and yellows, and ultra-fine grain.

Someone beat them to that.

Well those are the prices I saw from when 220 first came out until recently. It is nice to know that there are better prices, but the lack of choice of film emulsions helps kill interest in the format. 220 backs are easily obtainable at low prices so even if I have to send a back out for a CLA they are still dirt cheap. But then there are few films from which to choose.

 

[Patrick Robert James]

Probably something small. If it was groundbreaking they would have teased it for months.
