This isn't really news but I haven't seen it posted on this forum so here goes.

A very sad times for B/W film users. Ilford is in receivership. If no one buys their film business they will close it down.

Lets pray that the others don't follow suit.

Film will probably survive but problem is the death of different types of film which means less choice.
