I hate to seem like a pest, but an update, any udate, on the status of current Ilford ULF special order program would be appreciated.
There was suppoed to be some announcement made on/after the 22nd, but the only thing I can find online is the following on
The View Camera Store web site:
"
Please read before ordering!
Ilford makes odd and larger film sizes available twice a year. Place your order with us by January 25, 2006 and we will have the film ready to ship about the end of April. There is no minimum order, but you do need make payment with the order and the order can not be cancelled unless Ilford does not get enough orders to make this size. Your credit card will be charged when we receive your order. Of course, if Ilford doesn't make a run in this size your deposit will be refunded."
Well, tomorrow is the 25th. Is that really the deadline? If so, this round of the Ilford ULF secial order program has been much less publicized than last years. If tomorrow really is the deadline, I think a lot of people are going to miss out this time around for lack of information/knowledge about the program.
BTW, I'm not trying to come across as anti-Ilford here. Quite the opposite. I want this program to succeed, but unless someone gets the word out about it, I'm afraid it won't be nearly as successful as last year's program.
Thanks,
Kerry
