(Another) strange one! Anyone know of anywhere in the UK or Europe that sells 13x18 cms film. I have a pile of these sized holders and if I can get film I'll be happy, if not then I'll have to shell out for some regular 5x7 inch film holders Thanks!

Paul, we can always get for you here in the States from J&C Photo. Start with the fotoimpex web site. GOOD LUCK.
Last year, I bought a lot (500 sheets....) of Velvia in weirdly odd "half-plate" size from Process Supplies (London) Ltd. "Half-Plate" size (4 3/4" x 6 1/2" ) is used in cassettes identical in outer dimensjons to the 5"x7" & 13x18cm cassettes, and by accident I had a pile (bought them beliving they were 5"x7"...).
Now, Process-supplies sell sheet film on UK ebay now & then, and they are a joy to deal with. I recommend You give them a call (020 - 7837 2197) or email: sales@process-supplies.co.uk to hear if they have something in 13x18cm in.
Othervice, a German or Dutch supplier would be the next try - 13x18 being much more popular there I belive. I have bought a few boxes surplus/outdated 13x18 cm film on german ebay now & then, Agfacolor & ORWO B&W, so this might also be a source for film.
Good luck!
In case of B&W: you may try www.phototec.de. Good luck!
retrophotographic.com is where I go. Their range of products seems to be expanding weekly. Site is a bit difficult to navigate though.

Paul,
Ilford`s Delta 100 and FP4+ is available in 13/18cms. I ordered some packs of Delta 100 recently, so it should be no problem.
Stefan
Stephan,
Where did you order 13x18 cm Ilford Delta 100? I thought they had discontinued it a few years ago?
Thanks,
BILL
Stefan,
Sorry for the misspelling of your name!

Any German shop should carry 13x18!
When I buy film here in Norway I have to specify very clearly if I want 13x18cm or 5x7" - some dealers are not too clear on the difference.
My solution to that problem is to have holders in both sizes - as well as half-plate, 9x12cm, 4x5", 18x24cm and 8x10".
Bill, Ole is right. I ordererd the film over my local shop (Nuernberg/Bavaria). As soon as I found out about Iford's financial situation, I ordered some more boxes - but it is still available. I assume, that there must be some more LF-photographers with metrical holders. And as Ilford obviously still has sheet film in metrical sizes, it should be no problem to get it from Ilford directly. In 18/24cms only FP4+ is available, so I will probably switch to it for 13/18cms. Let's see.
