Hi Daniel,

I should say right up front that my artistic vision is best met by the 
sublte tonality of Ilford films. I should also say that I am anxious to do 
my bit for Ilford by supporting their excellent products. I must say that 
both those statements are untrue :-)

The reason is much more mundane. My local lab went belly up and I didn't 
think couldn't find anyone local to process the C41 b&w. I was wrong, the 
local supermarket do it without me having to argue with them as to whether 
C41 b&w is ok in C41 colour chemicals. In the meantime I had bought 5 Delta 
and 5 HP5 to try together with process paid mailers. As soon as they are 
used I am back to Kodak BW400 Pro.

Thanks for looking.

--Graham
