Ilford Photo announced, amongst other things, Ilford Photo Ortho Plus, an orthochromatic B&W film that can be handled by red safelight, a new fifth generation Multigrade paper, a reloadable camera styled after a single-use camera (already reported by Your Blogger) and a B&W starter kit in conjunction with Patterson.
Check out the Emulsive article for more details.
Tim Rudman reports that the new MG paper is easy to print with and has a smooth transition between grades. More on Tim's newsletter coming.
The new emulsion on the venerable paper has been reformulated to use modern emulsion making methods. It took eight years of R&D to produce the formula.

Ilford: New Product 24.10.2019
Ilford Photo is building the suspense for the release of a new product on October 24th. A posting on social media (also available on the web, scroll to the bottom of the page) shows 3 stark outlines of parts of the product, look for the 24.10.2019. Some guess a new sheet film, others a new camera.
We will see. A new 35mm camera of pro quality would be much appreciated. Ilford did recently introduce a reloadable version of its disposable camera. That camera has only been available at select retailers. Thanks to KosmoFoto for this tip.

Kickstarter: Thingyfy Pinhole Zoom Lens
Leave it to the Canucks at Thingyfy, they have created a 2x zoom lens featuring a pinhole. The Kickstarter campaign was funded in 5 hours. The campaign has closed now, but Thingyfy is using the IndieGoGo InDemand service to collect requests for perks from those whom were left out.
If you are interested in an 18 - 36mm pinhole zoom lens, check the IndieGoGo InDemand campaign here. Note that while the Kickstarter page includes a button that supposedly links to the IndieGoGo page, it draws a blank.
Mounts are available for popular cameras, including those that use film SLR lens mounts, such as Sony A, which is the same mount used on Minolta A mount camera bodies. While Canon EF and Nikon F mounts are supported, check with Thingyfy that your camera is compatible with modern versions of these lens mounts.
This would be Thingyfy's third pinhole lens venture, the previous two were successful for Thingyfy and backers. Note that crowd funded ventures have risks, even for successful campaigners.
