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

Welcome to the 127 Day online exhibition for the 12th of July, 2021! A record 29 artists in eight countries across four continents joined together virtually on the 12th of July, 2021, using 127-format analogue media, to make these photographs. I encourage you to page down to see the wonderful variety of individual styles, subject matter, cameras, and films.

If you photograph on film or other analogue media in 127 film format, you're invited to join us for the next 127 Day on the December 7, 2021.

 

Enjoy!

All types of 127 film format* are welcome, whether the film began its existence as 127, or you used 35 mm film in a 127 camera, or you respooled 46mm film, or you cut down 120 film to 127 size ... or maybe you have a technique that I don't know about yet - if so, please tell me so I can share it with others who love this format (with full credit to you, of course - or perhaps you'd like to write an article for 127 Film Photography about it!). Photos made on 127 film in a different size camera are welcome too.

127 Film Photography will publish all photos received (as long as they are in 127 format and do not contain images of nudity, violence, or exploitation).

I look forward to seeing your 127 Day photos! 
 
Good light and happy photographing!
