Out of monetary interest, is there a price sheet available? How is this done?

Thanks,
Curt

[Oren Grad]

Retail pricing is set by the participating dealers, and should be available for this year's run within a few days. All orders are placed through the participating dealer of your choice.

Hi Oren

I just got the announcement from Ilford but am waiting for the 2012 list from Wynit (Ilford distributor) before posting it. Officially it starts on Monday, April 30, 2012.

Please let everyone know about this, as I get a number of phone calls & emails a week or two after the ordering deadline.

I will be offering a 25% discount on FP4+ & HP5+ BTZS film tests during the 2012 Ilford ULF Film special order time (4/30/2012 to 6/22/2012).

Please note that the ExpoDev program is now available for the iPhone & I now can email the ExpoDev file to the email on your iPhone. Please call or email me if you have questions about BTZS film testing, ExpoDev program for the iPhone or need help.

As I have mentioned in the past, as anyone who call me knows - please support Ilford as they do provide this opportunity to order unique film sizes and you can order as few a one box or as many as you want.

I've just finished a search of Ilford's listed suppliers, and, quite frankly, there are not many on the list seemingly participating.

Luckily, there are guys like Fred and the team at Freestyle. Most of the rest, however, have very little (if any) acknowledgment of Ilford, let alone the ULF run.

Pretty disappointing, IMO...

[SergeiR]

I wouldn't mind to get on for few boxes of 4x5 of Delta and HP5+ :) But so far i don't see any price difference..

Aren't these regularly available films?

[Robert Skeoch]

Delta 100 in 4x5 is a regularly available film. You don't need to wait to order it.
In Canada I'll be selling the Ilford ULF again this year.
I don't yet have the pricing.

I went to the Freestyle site but couldn't find the 2012 run information. Are there partners and reluctant partners. Freestyle could have posted this in their what's new column.

Its there, but you have to use their selection method
Black a& White Film --> Limit the manufacturer to Ilford. It will display all the choices.
Of course, you could further limit it to FP4 or HP5 or Delta, and by Size (12x20 and 7x17 look good ;-)

[don12x20]

Limit by ISO of course, not by FP4 etc

[pbryld]

Is it not possible to order paper?

[Curt]

Thanks Don.

[polyglot]

Papers are not a special run, they produce them normally in fairly reasonably large sizes. This is the annual ULF film run with unusual sizes: you preorder and Ilford cuts only the necessary quantity in each size as ordered.

...Its there, but you have to use their selection method
Black a& White Film --> Limit the manufacturer to Ilford. It will display all the choices...Not all the choices. I just followed that sequence and wasn't presented any whole plate (6.5 x 8.5 inches) options, which should include FP4 Plus, HP5 Plus and (yes!) Delta 100.

Badger and The View Camera Store certainly do make it easy. :)

[Lachlan 717]

I'm having issues with double charging for postage with Freestyle.

It seems that I get stung for both domestic and international postage...

[pbryld]

Thanks Don.

Ah yes, but I am wanting a size they don't normally produce. Though I'll just have to cut some paper down it seems.

Their postage is confusing because international is represented as "plus $xx" instead of just an actual price. So you need to add up the two numbers on screen.

[Sal Santamaura]

A reminder to all -- this Friday, June 22, is the last day to place orders. I strongly suggest not missing out on the opportunity Ilford provides to obtain unique film sizes.

(Especially whole plate Delta 100 :) )

[goamules]

I awoke to find an email from Freestyle this morning, that my Wholeplate Ilford special order has shipped! I knew the time would fly. I hope others got their non-standard ULF size film from this great seller too. If we don't buy new film (plenty of Want to Buy ads for OLD film) they will quit making it.

[Oren Grad]

Just got home from a few days of travel and found my order of WP HP5 Plus, by way of Badger Graphic, waiting for me. :)
