Bob, Perhaps some food for thought (hope it does not freze your system..;-)..) http://www.apug.org/forums/forum187/28015-ilford-photo-harman-technology -need-ulf-feedback.html or http://tinyurl.com/2msftu last page answer 02-08-07, 06:22 PM #71 (permalink) Simon R Galley Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Cheshire UK Posts: 547 Default Dear John, If we do make a fast sheet film, and that is not an agreed project it would take between 14 and 16 months to develop, coat and test. So it will have to be HP5+ this time around for sure. Regards Simon.
