Re: Re:Ilford Quitting Film Business

Hi Robert, I am very upset too- it is my fav. of all LF films!
I found out that Ilford is doing well in Canada (where I live) but due to
the weak US dollar and sales in USA, the film wasn't doing well- this is
acc. to my supplier.
Their inkjet business is one of the best divisions and the supplier believes
that Ilford would do better to increase the amount asked for film (value it
more realistically and cut divisions more) and it will be in production
again.
