"Ilford Will Be There..."

[RayPA]

I was shopping at Photographer's Formulary, and saw this link regarding Ilford and comments from Ilford Photo's Sales Director, Steven Brieley. Check out this interview for some very encouraging words regarding Ilford's future and where they see traditional photography going forward.

This Link SHOULD take you right to the movie (interview)

If not here is a link to the Home page, see the left column under Announcements

Apologies if this has been discussed and I missed it.

For the benefit of those of us on dialup, can you paraphrase what was said in the movie?

 

[RayPA]

You can find the gist of the big picture HERE, without the details of the history of the purchase and the inspiring language, but the general idea is Ilford is committed to continuing on producing their current line of products (glass plates even!), and reintroducing others.

Makes me want to switch over to Ilford products completely!

Kind of goes against the grain of "groupie" adoration tonight though?

Less than $2.75/per.....

I'm not following you, George. What am I missing??? 🙂

I'm switching to Ilford as of today too. (that's ok though, I already love using Ilford now!) 😎

I`m all for keeping these guys in business. Kodak will bail out one day when you least expect it and a HEALTHY replacement needs to be in place.

If you look at K`s past practice, it just gets announced and that is the end. To bad.

I always like Ilford films. Have to start using their developers.
is there any Ilford equivalent of HC 110?

 

[jamiewakeham]

Hmm. Last time I checked, $200 divided by 50 rolls was rather in excess of $2.75. But even if it wasn't, I can't quite see the relevance of the fact that one member happens to be selling one type of film to another member's useful message pointing out an article detailing how Ilford want to continue to market another.

Or, in other words: chill out, George! You're not being forced to buy Bill's film, are you?

Cheers

Thanks for the new link - good news!

 

[Byuphoto]

I wonder if it was anyone other than Bill if you would have bought some of the film?

 

[boarini2003]

Wow, Ilford all the way. Which for me isn't a big change, since I only use Ilford stuff anyway. Can't imagine a world without HP5 or Ilford Paper. It was really inspiring to see this interview, thank you so much RayPa for posting this! It's a cause for celebration. I can't wait to post this link in other forums where there are posts on people terrified (rightly so) at the idea of a world taken over by the digi geeks ;-)

Ilfotec HC is the equivalent of HC110. Have a look on www.ilfordphoto.com. You should find a Kodak to Ilford equivalence chart.

There are downloadable pdf file Agfa-Ilford and Kodak-Ilford equivalence charts here.
