With all the BS with Kodak , Fuji in the 8x10 arena i have sworn my alliegance to Ilford , Long live ilford !! I prefer fuji Acros but at colour tranny prices for twenty sheets from japan they can shove it!!. Oh btw i have a fair bit of acros stock in 5x4 so if i post images from this stock please don't think i am being disloyal .

you just try buying 5x4 film, go ahead! It's 4x5 here and that's even how ilford labels it:)

Yes but they rotate it by 90 degrees before they ship it to you. We know it's really 5x4 as the English laws of physics make it very difficult to manufature it as 4x5.

Vinny ,And also 8x10 which is how i would would say it in my proper english, although from memory Ilford (or it representitive)did send 100 sheets of Delta 100 to my home ordered in the incorrect manner as 5x4
And once i turned this mistake on its side it fitted perfectly;)

I had to buy 5x4 film holders from England because I couldn't get the film to fit my my 4x5 film holders. I should of asked them to just rotate the film first before sending it over here.

+1 to that. Has anyone ever approached Ilford on this, or heard any statement on it from them?

It's colour in the Great White North, too! Big fan of Ilford... but I sure do love TMY-2.
