Is it still produced and if it is where the heck to I find it (in the US). Freestyle doesn't carry it B&H doesn't carry it adorama doesn't carry it I'm assuming it isn't produced anymore?

Monkeykoder,

My summer 2008 catalog for B&H lists 25 sheets of HP5 Plus in 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 for $19.95 but I just checked online and there was no listing. Have you tried calling the store and talking to a person.
I just checked Ilford's website and this size is listed with a catalog number 1629145.

Regards,
Dave

B&H was carrying it fairly recently, but try The View Camera store. They're one of the merchants handling Ilford's annual special order and are stocking more unusual sizes. A few of us ordered FP4+ in 2x3" as part of this year's special order--

Wow the HP5 is insanely expensive I guess that is what you have to pay if you special order something. I guess I'll stick with the arista and the efke.

I just ordered some through Freescale. They were able to add my order to their restock order to Ilford. A special order is the only way to get this size film as far as I know. There are other makes of film in this size available from several sources including Freescale.

Ilford does continue to produce and ship HP5 world wide. When you order provide the Ilford SKU # 1629145.

Here is the Ilford Web site product page current as of June 2008:
http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/200866151713767.pdf

Ilford lists HP5+ 2.25x3.25in 25 as USUALLY IN STOCK WW for world wide.

The Yankee Cut Film Sheet film developer will accommodate 2x3 to 4x5 film too. I got one new for $25.00 at B&H.

The bad news, if there is bad news, is the cost of the film is basically the same as HP5 in the 4X5 size. Also you do need to have your special order added to your suppliers order and there can be a delay as the retail store has to place, receive, then re-ship to you. I would order several boxes to make sure you have enough on hand.
