I have to say kudos for Ilford on this. They listened to the ULF community and extended the order deadline a few weeks. That is the sign of a responsive company. I hope they are rewarded for their troubles.

They also added the sizes that are still in regular production but are not normally imported to the US. I had contacted Ilford USA to ask whether they could supply any 2.25x3.25 HP5 Plus, and the response was that it's not normally imported to the US, but they'd look into bringing some in as part of the special offer. I'm sure they received other requests like that as well. And then, lo and behold, they actually delivered.

Between this and the addition of 6.5x8.5 to the special cut list, they're sure working hard to earn my business. I'm really happy.

Oren,

You're right, they are doing what they can to earn the business of the ULF community. I hope they get enough orders from it to make it worthwhile to do it again.

I only wish they were offering HP5 in 3 1/4 x 4 1/4!
