    Does it have to be exact? Or does it need to be a known emulsion? I have a box of Electron Microscopy film I haven't gotten around to trying yet, it's 3-1/4x4". Search for Kodak 4489.

    I was told that cutting down 240mm wide aerial film works well. I believe 3x4 film is 81mm-ish wide so I'm guessing you can get 3x 80mm off the aerial film (1mm short, but still fits in a 3x4 holder). Length is around 107 mm and you can get a 61m roll of fillm for less than $200 on Ebay. That's like 1500 sheets of 3x4 for $200. Not bad

    I meant to say the 61 m roll of film is less than $300. Still, 1500 sheets @ $300 is 20c per sheet. Very affordable.

    As mentioned, any USA 're-seller partner' of Ilford film (such as Freestyle), should be able to get/have what you need.

    Below is a [condensed] excerpt from Simon, at Ilford/Harmon, from a thread on APUG
    announcing the upcoming annual ordering period for Ilford, ULF films, with specific mention of 2 X 3 film.

    Dear All,
    ...anything we have made before like the 2 x 3 we have the ISO standard cutter guides so it should be on the list, you can still request any size any product and we will see what we can do...

    Re: 3x4 sheet film

    The problem with the Ilford's ULF run is that the 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 film is priced way out of line compared to the other films in the run. In the past it has been about the same price as 4 x 10 film, and I find that kind of hard to swallow. I did contact Simon Galley about this price discrepancy and he ignored me. I still buy plenty of Ilford film, just not 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.
