Ilford made or still makes a 6x9 inch smaller than 8x10 size.
I've had models who worked in Europe intensively ask me for some strange larger
then 8x10 by smaller than 11x14 size which the models are standardized on over
there and maybe overlapping into New York.
With all the money they make they don't want to pay my 11x14 price and cut it down.
