News from the Front

Tim Rudman issued his latest Lith printing newsletter, with news of the latest happenings in the anolog photography market. Being that film photography mostly requires someone to make the materials we use, this is always interesting. First up, was the acquisition of Ilford Photo by Pmeberstone. Tim notes that the announcement may have caused some shortages in the market as people stocked up, but that Ilford will continue to produce film and paper for osme time to come.

Next up is news from Adox, who have purchased a medium-scale coating machine to produce sufficient papers and films for their market on their own. Note that Ilford Switzerland, which sold the machinery, is a separate entity from Ilford Photo/Harman in England. Tim speculates that Adox will be able to produce a paper similar to Forte's Polywarmtone variable contrast paper. The plant will also be able to produce film, so coating their own CHS 100 film (review) may be a possibility.

Mr. Rudman is now back on schedule in publishing his photo book 'Iceland. An Uneasy Calm'. His book should start shipping mid-October for the first edition and should be released for all editions in time for Christmas. Due to the slippage in release, Tim has printed extra books, which are available for order here.

If you like Tim's photo books, he recommends his fellow photographer, Craig Alan Huber, who has a Kickstarter campaign for his latest book, 'The Spirit Within Saint Junipero'.
