As far as sources for 127 film, Ilford does their special order film
cutting one a year. So, if you have old rollfilm cameras that use
oddball/obsolete film sizes like 127 or 122, and you would like to use them
(for B/W, at least), get in touch with Ilford customer support to find out
when they start taking orders for the next custom batch. Seems to me the
most recent was just a few months ago.
