Have a look at the Twitter "conversation" that is Ilford's Someone there said it must be colour and it was about the only response from Ilford that got an unequivocal "No"Color film my friend.
Well, Ilfocolor is not the same as Ilfochrome... like Fujicolor is different from Fujichrome, or Kodacolor / Kodachrome for that matter. Leaves a door open...They denied it on the twitter reply feed, at least referring to an user that said Ilfocolor. "That's a definite no"
Thanks macfred. You may have noticed that we have two threads running on this topic ...
Not casting any doubt on you but it seems strange that it should issue such a teasing message with little substance in it and I can find nothing, not even a hint on Ilford's own site

Seems to be creating the desired "buzz" on this site (Photrio).That is the trend in the industry...
Kodak Alaris has been announcing via Facebook only.
(Mirko from Adox promised to put all kind of announcement on their own site too.)
I've reported it, but it doesn't appear that there are any mods currently on duty.I did - see post #2. Think the mods will bring the threads together.
It wasn't just rumors, it was something that Ilford was considering, but decided that it would compete with already existing products. Naturally, it never materialised.Remember the rumors for Delta 25???.... I wonder.....
What I really want is an IR film that is at least 820 sensitised or beyond. SFX is "okay" but...
What do you mean by "reversal film"? A clearer film base?Tantalising. My guess would be either a B&W reversal film or a "true" IR film.
Well yes, but all of their films can be reversal processed and make BW slides. Some may be better suited than others, but you certainly get a positive image. The only improvement that IMHO could be done is a clearer film base that would give better highlights.B&W slide film.

Delta 25??! Yes please!
I like this - everyone, or just witches and wizards, no muggles?I think it will be a B&W film for Harry Potter fans
Ilford HP9 3/4
I remember Simon Galley stating that Ilford would never introduce a new film that might cannibalize sales from their existing films. This was one of the arguments as to why they didn't create a true IR film as it would endanger SFX sales. He also pointed out the manufacturing difficulties of making a true IR film. On the other hand, Harmon has been under new management for a while.
An orthochromatic film or B&W reversal film would not cannibalize sales of their other films.
