Urgent B&W Negative problem

[Paul Arthur]

Hi all,

A client of mine has just tasked me to take a number of Black and White images of Bristol for them to put up in their new office that has just opened in Bristol.

So, my immediate reaction was to do it digital, but she's actually asked for film images.

So, here is my problem. I don't want to use up my small reserve of Acros QL on a project like this so I need to get hold of some 4x5 black and white film in fairly short order and can't for the life of me find any. Fujilab don't do Acros in sheet form anymore and I don't know anywhere else to buy it. Ideally I'd like a slow emulsion so I can drag the exposure times out as much as I can.

Any help gratefully accepted - and if anyone has a Graflex Grafmatic to sell at the same time, I'd be interested as I would like to avoid carrying it all in DDS if I can.

Many Thanks

Paul

Matt at Ag Photographic in Birmingham should have some film call him in the morning, Delta 100 or Tmax 100 are excellent films if you can't get Fuji.

I'm second the AG recommendation, Matt seems to be a good chap and the prices are good. Delta 100 is good stuff, better than Acros in my opinion.

I'd also recommend Silverprint and if it's slow you're after Adox 25 is great. Trouble is, not sure how you'd get on getting that developed. Of course you should be developing your own black and white
