Any information Simon on a 2008 manufacturing run would be appreciated as soon as you are able to tell us.

Regards

Barry

Yes, indeed.

I'm wanting to get some whole plate film in the UK and hardly want to miss out on any 'special order' procedures. (Ah, it would be nice if it was regularly available!)

Any news, Simon?

(Cheers, Barry.)

I'm in for some 11x14, when the opportunity some up. No plans on a camera yet, but my hopes are high!

Dear Simon, Now that we have you on the line!
There's been some discussion and a poll going on the Large Format Forum for Delta 400 in sheet film. Know it has been discussed here before and as far as i remember there was not enough demand.
Would there be a chance that a new production run could include Delta 400?

Thanks.
jan

If you can only make either D400 or HP5 due to demand, why not make them on alternating years, as long as it was publicised far enough in advance, then people could stock up for 2 years on their favourite flavour of 400 film.

Thanks for the update Simon, I'll keep an eye out for your announcement. A European stockist would be good this year

I'm not a ULF user, but I thought Silverprint took part in 2007?

Tom.

No such luck Tom, see...

(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

It mentions Silverprint in the link, but I was told in the Silverprint shop during the run that that did not know anything about it.

Hello all and Simon ...

I'm keen for some Delta3200 in 8x10 if possible (?!?) ((there was a url link here which no longer exists))

So, I'll put my hand up here for the time being

Yes! I would love to buy Delta 400 in 4x5. Frankly I can't understand why Delta 100 is a normal production product and Delta 400 is unavailable in 4x5. Delta 400 is very fine-grained, has great tonality and two stops faster. In rollfilm, I find very little reason to use Delta 100 over Delta 400. Not that Delta 100 is bad, but I don't see a huge benefit in the trade off for 2 stops of speed.

I am not looking for anything exotic, or the production of any new size for a particular emulsion. With my 7x17 stash being essentially non-existent, I hope there will be another run of ULF in FP4+ and HP5+.

Somebody at our place got their wrist slapped, the problem was we got on the boat rather late last year. Silverprint will certainly be supporting the ULF initiative from the start this time around.
