[LargeFormat] demand for 3x4 film?

[Hornford, Dave]

I asked Ilford about PanF in 4x5. If I order 5,000 square meters they
are very happy to do a custom production run.

I've written to Begger and Ilford, so far no response.  Much like this=20

Considering the last time I talked to Kodak (before their new coating=20
