A trio of cameras actually - but the films were all developed in the same session, using replenished XTol.
Here are the cameras - A Kodak Tourist with TMax 100 respooled to 620, a Toyocaflex with TMax 400 and a Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 521/2, also with TMax 400.

And here are some of the results - all from the Photrio Gallery:
Using the Kodak Tourist:

"Thistle"

From what is most likely my last roll in the Kodak Tourist, before I pass it on. I need to...

"Fungi amongst the grass"

Another from what is most likely my last roll in the Kodak Tourist, before I pass it on...

Using the Toyocaflex:

"Play of Light"

A detail from the net shed at the Britannia Shipyards historical site...

And using the Ikonta:

"No Garden Gnomes Need Apply"

A whimsical display outside one of the Finn Slough residences.

Silvestri SLV and a S-A 47mm on Delta 100 2"x3" (an orange filter too).
The Delta 100 was cut, out of 13x18 sheet film, to get 2"x3" sheets which are somewhat smaller than 6x9cm and aren't available anymore. I get four 2"x3" out of one 13x18 with some loss.
I needed these small sheets for a Grafmatic 23 film holder, in which goes 6 of these sheets.
This holder has been DIY modified to the panoramic format with a ratio of 2,5 by 1.
The film was developed in open bath, the 6 small sheets were attached in a Kodak Dental film hanger (I am disparately looking for a second one!).

ADOX XT-3 1+1, 11 min @ 20°C, the Delta 100, which is about 20 years overdue (freezer) but still does the 'thing', was ratet at 64ASA...

Click to expand...

This size is available in the US in Foma 100 and 400, as well as the rebranded Arista .EDU Ultra 100 and 400. I've got a fresh box of it on the corner of my desk along with my two 2x3 Grafmatics.

You might check your local Foma dealer (Fotoimpex, at worst?) to see if they have it or can get it for you. It's not Delta 100, obviously, but it also doesn't require recutting film in the dark...

MacoDirect seems to have a number of 6.5x9 and 6.4x8.9cm sheet films. Retrocamera.be can possibly also get them as they carry a lot of the same stock as FotoImpex and Maco

I have tried the 6,5x9 and the 6,4x8,9 cm formats (I have a box of old AGFAPAN 100 6x9 sheets) and they don't fit in the Grafmatic 23 septums.
2"x3" is definitely smaller than 6x9cm, do the test and you will see.

And believe me, I really did search for 2"x3" sheets over here...
I saw them on the FOMABOHEMIA site but weren't viable (at the time).

Anyway, thank you for mentioning, but I don't mind cutting the film myself.
And I am very lucky to have an (old-) IR viewer and IR light, which I can use for developing in open bath too.

PS: Retrocamera.be is my preferred supplier, for years now (I am born in the same city where they are located).

Another option -- if you can stand the minimum or need other formats -- is the annual Ilford custom cut event. They offer FP4+ and HP5+ in 2x3 format; American dealers usually buy up some stock so they can offer it throughout the year (I sere it listed in stock at B&H and Freestyle most of the time).

@murdockhendrix Very nice image. I had not heard of this camera before.

Today I was shooting Fuji Neopan 400 which I will probably develop in HC-110. 135mm f/1.8 lens on a 35mm SLR.

Me too. I have 2 pre-war 6x9 Voigtlander Bessas, hope to take one of them out this weekend to do trichromes.

Leica MP and Tmax 400. I will wait until I get two dozen rolls exposed so I’ll do them all at once.
