Sheet Film Availability

**steve simmons** · 16-Jan-2006, 07:23

Every now and then someone comes on a discussion grup and pronounces that film is dead, film is gone, etc., etc. Nonsense. There are more sheet fils currently available than any of us will ever use.

In the Jan/Feb 05 issue of View Camera we've made a chart showing all of the currently available sheet films we could find.And in the Free Articles section of the View Camera web site we are posting a PDF with all of the 5x7/13x18 films that we could find (this will be up in a day or two).

I hope these silly posts will stop. They do not do anything positive for the lf community.

Hi Steve,

I did not see Ilford HP-5+ listed on the chart on page 66 of the latest issue of VC. Has the newly re-organized Ilford company decided to discontinue that film?

Eugene, A quick search of several providers indicates that most have HP5 currently in stock in 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10.

HP5+ is readi;y available in 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10. I will update the chart today and put the correction on the web site.

I cannot see Ilford discontinuing production of HP5+ as it is their MAIN film...as far as I'm concerned. I'll pick up an issue of VC at local book store...thanks, Steve.

I agree with Steve. The merchants I order film and supplies from are well stocked and currently offer more emulsions than anytime in the past that I can remember. While Agfa has parted ways and apparently Kodak's CEO harbors considerable hostility towards film as indicated by a recent interview, these events are more than 'countered' by the reorganization and revitalization of both Ilford and Forte, and the availability of Foma and J and C's 'House' brand.

Cheers!

"I meant the Jan/Feb 06 issue."

Hey - Steve - it wouldn't be View Camera if there wasn't a typo... ;-)

I'm in Florida and have not received the Jan/Feb 06 issue. When was it mailed?
