    2x3 Sheet Film?

    Does anyone still sell 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 sheet film, or is the roll film adapter the only way to use the Pressman C and baby Crown Graphics?

    I use the roll film adapter on my small Speed Graphic and really like it. I don't use the GG for anything, so I don't miss it.

    Ilford still sells it in their annual run. Your local Ilford dealer (or another) may have it.
    Freestyle has Efke and Arista (rebadged Foma) in stock.

    I think Ilford still offers HP5+ in 2x3 as a regular item. Efke makes 2x3 film sold through Freestyle - and Foma may also.

    The roll film adapter is your only choice here.

    It just seems odd to me that almost every 2x3 press camera on the auction site gets bids. I think roll film adapters are a PITA to install & remove if you want to use the ground glass, and I never have liked B&W. I suppose most of those buyers must be into B&W?

    There is nothing odd about those bidders. Quite the contrary! If you think that using roll film adaptors is a PITA then probably the use of a view camera must be felt like that by you too. Horseman roll film holders to be put after removing the gg are a normal item in the view camera photography.
    If you want to cut 4x5 film you can have colour film and slides too. No doubt too much of the PITA...

    I ordered sheet 2X3 sheet film from Ilford through Freestyle. Its not a stocking item in the USA anywhere as far as I know. Any Ilford dealer can order the film and the problem is it has to be shipped with the dealers Ilford order. If the item is out of stock it will have to come from the UK which adds to the your delivery time. It also costs about the same as 4X5. Here i the availability list from their web site http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/...1552402063.pdf
