Once a year, ILFORD's ULF Film Program allows film enthusiasts to purchase custom sizes of sheet film and other specialist products without the usual minimum order requirements. Like you, we're obsessed with film here at McBain. We look forward to this event every year because it lets us stock passionate film photographers with the custom products you need to power your creativity. Read on to learn how it works!
What does ULF stand for?
ULF stands for ULTRA LARGE FORMAT – ILFORD has been running this program for 18 years now!
What is it?
ILFORD's annual ULF campaign gives photographers the opportunity to order non-standard sizes of ILFORD sheet film and other specialist products without the constraints of the usual minimum order quantity.
Why do they do it?
ILFORD knows that there are many vintage, collectable and home made cameras out there and that it can often be difficult or impossible to get film for these non-standard formats. This program allows the film manufacturer to support these photographers to allow the continued use of these cameras.
Which films are included?
ILFORD FP4 PLUS, HP5 PLUS, and DELTA 100 PROFESSIONAL. Not all films are available in all formats. The options available reflect what has been asked for over the past 18 years. ILFORD is happy to consider any other size suggestions but do not guarantee to make them available. Visit this link for a full list of eligible film stocks.
