Forum is a second-declenion (o-stem) noun and
abides by the wide-spread Indo-European "neuter
rule" in which the plural nominative and
accusative ETC snipped...
The accuasative must come in handy in law. No wonder I
had trouble with Latin.
I can't tell from the PDF what sort of volume Ilford
wants for special order stuff but large size sheet film, up
to 20x24 are listed for materials like FP-4. Film is made in
large, continuous, sheets which are cut down to roll and
sheet sizes so special sizes do not require special runs. Of
course, there are three different thicknesses of support
used, one for 35mm film (and maybe other long roll sizes),
another one for roll film, and a third for sheet film. Even
of the emulsion is the same the coating must be done
separately.
BTW, I followed my own suggestion and wrote Ilford
asking about true IR film. I don't count on getting a reply
but Ilford/Harmon seems more accessible than most companies
have become.
I suggest that we try to support Ilford because it is
one of only two (Fuji is the other) makers of B&W film that
have any kind of advanced technology.
