Just as an fyi, I got a box of Ilford Delta 100 4x5 that is not 5 inches long. The sheets measure anywhere from 1/4 to 3/8 short. I have notified my dealer, who says from my reading the box label to him, that it is lot 36. I have no fears that Ilford will cover it promptly.

I just started on a box of Fotokemika Efke PL 100 M iso 100
4x5. About 10 sheets into the box the sheets started coming up without the familiar notch. For about 5 or 6 sheets I thought I was losing my mind . . . all alone there. . . in the dark. Apparently the process to make the notches failed during production.

I think that it would be helpful to correct the subject line. I assumed that you were talking about Delta darkroom products until I saw the actual post. Put Ilford in there so that Simon will see it and respond.

Is this not the European size 9*12 cm? Maybe the wrong size in the wrong box???

Ilford Delta short

I had already contacted Simon galley about the film. It was sold in the US as 4x5, it could be 12cm, which is 4.72 inches, about the size I got.

4x5 film has never been 5" long, nor 4" wide. But 3/8" short is a bit too much.
