Awesome! Will add some ULF inventory. As they say make hay while the sun shines.

Yep, we all have to shoot enough unusually-sized film to keep the program going. And to keep Ilford profitable. I don't work with ULF- my special-order film is a size that can only be mentioned in the Lounge- but I'll be ordering soon.

Wow I just checked the price for 717 and it comes to $11 a sheet! Does this make sense, is this the current price for ulf film? It's more than twice the cost of 810 for only a third more film!?!

Despite the moany-groany about bean counters on this site----
The prices may not make sense for folks whose finances are tight,
but from a production standpoint the prices do make sense
These sizes are CUSTOM, the set up costs are substantial and must be amortized over small net quantities from large rolls.
We all hope Ilford survives, and to do that it must make a profit, else the bean counters tell the folks,
um, "go home we're out of money for little things like paychecks and electricity"

I order from Midwest Photo and they quoted me just under $200/box of 25 for 7x17 HP-5 which comes out to $8 a sheet. 7x17 surface area is 50% more than 8x10 (120 sq in. vs. 80 sq in.) and the cost for the larger size reflects that. Thank the heavens for Ilford's dedication to ULF and oddball sizes!

Well I'll try Midwest, the shop in England quoted me $240 per box, I thought it'd be cheaper from the source country but not so.

Check all possible sellers as they are free to price as they please.

Again this year there are cost per sq in anomalies.

I'm not going to say as I do business with all the USA suppliers.

It's all available online.

Mike walker from Walker Cameras always have been very helpful and fair.
He is based in UK, but sure he could deliver it anywhere in Europe

Been off line for most of April, so I am glad I caught this!

Just ordered 6 boxes of 11x14 FP4+ from Badger. $279 per box and free shipping. Just did it, and am already having buyers-remorse...should have ordered 10 boxes.

You can still order more!

Sigh...its only money...

Think I'll stick with 6 (I have a couple boxes of HP5+ on hand) and depend on this happening again next year.

Way to step up to the plate. I am heading out for some 11x14 Delta 100 myself. Every order sends a little love to Ilford to keep the coating machines up and running.

Got the same message (except for 11x14) today from Badger!
