Ilford 3200 Sheet Film

[Andrew O'Neill]

Hi gang,

When I was at Per Volquartz's workshop over the weekend (Vancouver, BC, Canada), Rob Skeoch (a suppler of LF film and gear in Ontario) said that Ilford will make their 3200 speed in sheet film...has anyone else heard of this? I would love to try it.
By the way, had a great time at Per's workshop. What a nice guy!!

Cheers!

PS. Thanks Capocheny for organizing it!

Simon Galley of Harman/Ilford has been canvassing interest in a Delta 3200 sheet film over at APUG. I don't recall his announcing that they've made a decision on it one way or another yet, but I don't catch every thread so it's possible I've missed something.

[Andrew O'Neill]

I heard about it over the weekend and Rob seemed quite certain that it is going to happen...perhaps Rob could chime in...that's if he is actually home and not out taking photos.

[Charles Hohenstein]

That would certainly be good news for those of us who like to think that using a 4x5 hand-held is still fashionable.

[Leonard Metcalf]

Now that would be exciting.

[Andrew O'Neill]

If I hear more about this from Rob, I'll let you know.

I for one would buy it in 5x4. I wouldn't use it as my "standard" film, but I'd use some for sure.

What I might use as my standard film would be Delta 400 in 5x4. Doesn't seem to be happening though. Strange, that.

My pleasure Andrew...

It was great fun and it'll be an even better event next year.

And, you're spot on... Per is a really, really great guy!


I'd be really interested in giving the 3200 a try as well... interesting!

Cheers

Capocheny....think "Skookumchuck"

[Capocheny]

Andrew,

I had a dream about Skookumchuk last night... a dilly of a dream too!

But, I won't be discussing it!

Cheers
