Hi Peter - could you let us know if this information is contemporary?
Banse & Grohmann [Wephota.de] never responded - this was 7 years ago.
I'm in a similar predicament to Chris having run out of whole plate film. Possibly worse, since it is harder to source in the United Kingdom, than it is in the USA. Definitely worse, after acquired 3 boxes of Ilford FP4+ in whole plate from the USA 2 years ago and finding the film suffered under very humid storage conditions leading to the emulsion sticking sheet to sheet.
Jimi - NP15/22 are not directly related to Orwo film - they are coated and cut by the Wephota team. Bergger [France] had a beautiful short-lived collaboration producing fine art NP15 in roll format film - it never survived to make it into large format or plate format. Its nominal ISO of 25 and extremely fine grain was just delightful.
I missed the Bergger 100 whole plate film [USA?] which was more recent. Foma I've not had any luck in finding either. The Shanghai ISO 100 film venture listed here recently opens up another venue for whole plate film.
Back to shooting sub-miniature 35mm film format until the whole plate situation changes...
Kind regards,
RJ
