I will be terribly depressed if FP4+ (or a close equivalent) is not
available in the future. It is hard to find films that match up
perfectly with PMK Pyro, but FP4+ is just that. I suppose I should
try a roll of Arista and Ultrafine just to see how they fare.

I asked myself this question a while back and decided that, if it isn't Ilford, it is made in the same plant that makes Ilford. Ultrafine is apparently made in England, and they claim that Ilford no longer makes film. One fellow on a forum said that Ultrafine, Arista (Freestyle) and a number of other "private labels" are made in England.

I'm cross-posting this a bit, apologies, but I've yet to find anyone with insight and thought I'd try here:
Does anyone know or use these films?

Jeffery:
I have a freezerload of Arista film which I bought several years ago. Have always treated it as if it were Ilford HP-.
Leafing through the latest Freestyle catalog I find that an Arista II B&W film was supplied to them by Agfa until recently.
The latest Arista films appear to be mf'd in Hungary by an ISO 9001 certified company. I've not been following news on films and papers and this new Freestyle catalog is brimming with testimonials and supplies to get one's creative juices flowing.
Freestyle was a hole in the wall surplus outfit when I was in HS in the early '70's but always had something cheap we could work with. Great to see they're still going strong and offer a great variety of goodies.
They have Chinese film as well!
