Looking forward to seeing the prices on your website. I'll have to wait until after the holidays to make a purchase though.

Got this from Ilford today.

Dear PULPA Contributor,

Thanks so much for your patience. It was seven month ago at the View
Camera Conference in Springfield MA that PULPA was born. The Provisional
Ultra-Large Photography Associates is a union of ILFORD and photographers
with a mutual desire to see better availability of ULF sheet film. And it
is provisional no longer - today we have a plan for North America to meet
our goals.

Please note the details below. This message is also repeated on the ILFORD
ILFOPRO Forums at

http://www.ilford.com/html/us_english/ILFOPRO/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=3

It would be appreciated if this news could be shared by you (including
posting the link to any appropriate forums to which you have access) with
any other parties you feel may be interested.

Thanks for posting, Jorge!

It is interesting that Hunt's Photo is in on this. They have been reducing their stocked B&W chemicals and film in the past few years. They got rid of several aisles of B&W papers, chemical etc. in favor of rows and rows of camera bags...
