Subject: [rollei_list] OT: Ilford Special Sheet Film Sizes?
Many of you know Joe O'Neil from various
Large-Format fora. He just posted a note to the
Royal Astronomical Society of Canada List that
Ilford is taking special orders for sheet films
in uncustomary sizes. This might be restricted
to Ilford in Canada. I lack the time at the
moment to check this out furtehr, but Joe might
have some further information: his e-mail is

Fora or forae? Its been more than fifty years since I
had any latin.
Ilford has a product availability list in PDF form at:
http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/200711714387916.pdf
This lists a number of very large sizes available as
"nonstock" items, presumably this means special order. I
suspect an e-mail to Ilford would bring details.
BTW, Ilford has a place for suggesting new products,
since there seems to be no replacement for Kodak High-Speed
Infrared perhaps Ilford would be willing to make a similar
film. There _are_ some other IR films but they seem mostly
to be extended red rather than true IR. For some reason I
have the idea that IR film is especially perishable which
would definitely affect its viability as a commercial
product were there is not an established market. However, I
suggest those who are interested write Ilford. I have no
idea how large a market they need to consider making
something but, obviously, the more requests they get the
better.
