Franz,
it is not quite like this. Technically after the withdrawal of a big investor Ilford is insolvent. This is why they had to go into "administration" (they cannot pay out this months wages anymore). Now if there is no new venture capitalist or investor coming who immediately shoots in money to cover outstanding wages the workes will most likely not appear in the factory on the morning of Sept. 1st. These informations were not delivered to me with the stamp of a notary on but they seem highly trustworthy as they come directly from inside the factory.
We expect at least some interruption in suplly for the coming months and thus we stocked up this raw material.
As far as I am informed the R3 is not based on an ilford emulsion. I believe it is rather derivated from a technical (scientific) film because it is made in such a specialist small factory which is dedicated to these things. But I do not know this for sure. I am just guessing like everyone else.
It is announced as the great innovation of the decade but we all need to see and test it first before we can make any comment.
