Ilford

[Curt]

Does anyone know of a source for 2x3 sheet film from Ilford. Specifically I am looking for ISO 50 but any would be great. JandC may or may not have any 25 or 50 soon and I have to move along with either sheet or go to roll film.

The only 2X3 film available from Ilford is 400 speed HP-5+. J&C or Freestyle Sales are your best bets for other films. HP-5+ is/was available from B&H.

Thanks Glenn, I just sent out some emails to Freestyle and B&H. I may just have to wait to get some ASA 25 or 50 from JandC. I am giving serious thought to making a film cutter. Like an arbor press with a sized blade that includes a notch for orientation. Maybe one that would cut out two from a 4x5 sheet. I would like to use films not made in the size I want.

I contacted Ilford US last week specifically to ask about HP5+ in 2.25x3.25. The answer was that it is no longer a regularly imported item in the US. However, they may be able to bring some in from the UK factory as part of the current special order period for odd sizes. If you're interested, best bet is probably to contact one of the select dealers participating in the special order and ask if they are willing to request it for you.
