Last chance for bulk 127 film this year

Many readers of this blog will be familiar with Ilford's annual Ultra Large Format (ULF) production. Some of the films they make can only be ordered once a year, and they only make them if they receive enough orders.

One of these is bulk (50') rolls of 46mm HP5+, which you can respool onto 127 backing paper. I just heard that Ilford doesn't have enough orders for this film to produce it this year.

Freestyle Photo still appears to be accepting orders, but this could end at any time. The relevant page is here.

I hope this information is helpful to you.

127 Day Exhibition - the 12th of July, 2021

Film Ferrania announces their intention to produce 127 film

As reported by Kosmo Foto, Film Ferrania cofounder Nicola Baldini indicated, in a response to a March 6 post on the Facebook 127 Film Shooters Group that the company intends to begin production of 127 film!

In a July 7, 2020 blog post, Film Ferrania announced that their P30 film was in production in 120 format.

In 2015, Ferrania spokesperson Dave Bias indicated that the company has "the capability (machines and knowledge) to produce 127 film”, which he described as "high on the 'wish list'.” In the March 6 Facebook post, Baldini said, "127 is the little brother of 120 and as soon we finished to setup of our internal 120 converting line jumping to 127 will be much easier.”

Many thanks to Charles J. Katz, Jr. for alerting me to this exciting news!

The Facebook 127 Film Shooters Group is run by Cheyenne Morrison.
