2022 Ilford special order period for ULF and odd sizes

[Oren Grad]

I just received an email from Silverprint in the UK announcing that this year's Ilford special order period is open, with ordering deadline Friday, August 19 and shipping anticipated starting early in November.

Normally Ilford Photo posts on their website a news release announcing the special order period along with a document detailing available sizes and participating dealers. Checking just now I don't see anything yet, but looks like it's time to keep an eye out for it.

Yay!

Please update as necessary

The 30th June 2022 (GMT +0h) Early Bird Offer for 8% off for pre-order is available for anyone signing up to the Ilford newsletter - there's no stipulated restriction on overseas ordering for a minimum quantity >£100 UK.

Great to hear this is the 17th year Ilford have continued this specialised program for whole plate film photographers & ULF photographers: previous years it has been harder to source whole plate boxes of Ilford film from the UK than from the USA ... hope this year sees this challenge corrected!

Anyone know where you can see the prices for the ULF films? Thanks!

At the sellers’ websites.

It’s not a fixed price offering.

Just found it after a bit of searching on The View Camera Store website. So, FYI if you were wondering as I was.

Badger Graphic is showing it now too.

Ilford still hasn't posted the official announcement.

EDIT: threads merged.

[Tin Can]

It never was

I have found bargains/anomalies every year

Looking forward to this. Never thought I’d need anything non-standard but this year yes.

Has any one in US received an order yet? The Ilford site suggested they would ship in October.

I didn’t participate this year, but last year I didn’t receive my order until February of this year. Patience is the key.

Got a call from Fred at the view camera store and he has received my 5x12 FP4 and shipping it out this week. He stated he is waiting on HP5 orders from Ilford.

Got an Email from Fred at the View Camera store. My 11x14 FP4+ is in, and and he will be shipping it out soon.
