Would anyone on here want to buy 220 film that I make? If there is enough interest, I could open an ad in the classifieds.

I'm interested depending on price.

Thanks!

I left film photography for ten years, and now I come back and there is no more 220 film...why was it stopped in the first place? What's preventing the manufacturers from making it? It's the same as 120, minus the paper...Also did not expect Ilford to drop it, since they make everything themselves...if China can make it (Shanghai film) Kodak and Ilford cannot make it? Where is the logic? I just cannot describe how muck of a pain in the eye it is to change roll every 12 photos, and the darn backing paper...

Shanghai 220 is available from Nik and Trik in the UK..

If you are in the USA, I'd recommend buying it thru Amazon like I did. Free shipping, and you actually get your product.

I'm still waiting on an order I placed thru Nik and Trick back in November. All they keep telling me is that there are issues with the Postal Service there, and that its been a thing there for awhile. Had I known that when I placed the order, like if only it was stated clearly on their website, I would have paid extra for some kind of reputable shipping like FedEx or some other service. But now all I get is a run-around telling me that its shipped, while the tracking number shows it hasn't left the country.

I am sorry you have not had much joy with N and T. They are not the quickest even in the uk but i really respect their enthusiasm for all things analogue. Hope something turns up soon.
