RE: Ilford Large Sheet Film Sizes Dropped

Well, I am glad that the workshop that I just taught that I prefaced much of
my recommended films with " this may not be true tomorrow". I stress the
understanding of film and development with the hope that they can use that
to find a film in the ever changing landscape of smaller sheet film choices.

BPFB 18 is looking better all the time.
