This looks like good news for those of us who shoot 35mm and Medium format roll film. Sheet film guys are gonna be pissed off. From an interview that was published in the October 2004 issue of the French photo magazine 'Ronses Photo': Monsieur Douville says the following about the future of the different product lines at Ilford. First about film. "According to my current information, I can inform you that the Delta line (100/400/3200) and fp4 and hp5+ [I suppose he talks about fp4+ here, pm.] will be continued except for sheetfilm. PanF+ en SFX200 will disappear without doubt. The 120 roll films will continu their career." About paper. "We will certainly stop the graded paper Ilfobrom Galerie, of which we sell very little. Ilfospeed will stay available, but without doubt in less gradations. In the Multigrade line, both the Cooltone and Portfolio versions will perhaps disappear. All the other products, Multigrade iV and FB and Multigrade Warmtone FB will stay available." -=>Donald
