New film from Ilford on 24 October?

It seems that Ilford Photo are teasing that they will release some new film on 24 October.
I wonder what it will be

I would really like an ISO 100 C41 black and white film...

The only thing I don’t like about XP-2 is the excess grain... a slower, finer-grained film with similar characteristics would be great.

It looks to be a 35mm film, a 120, and 2 different sheet film's (most likely Delta 3200 & a different B&W film)

Interesting. For me personally I would have no use for a C-41 process B&W film

Actually I don't really know what I would wish for from a new film. Ilford have a pretty complete lineup as it is, my favourites being FP4 and HP5.
Perhaps a new, slow, super fine grained emulsion?
Let's hope it's something good regardless. It could just be a revision.

For me, the local lab does great C41, but the lab they send their traditional black and white to seems to be inside a lint factory...

And I have a hard time getting water cool enough to develop film for half the year...

As long as they don't touch Delta 100 or PAN F we are good

Living in a warm climate, my summer tap water is often about 28-30 degrees. I add ice blocks to chill down the water prior to adding developer.
Normally that works ok, although the temperature does climb during development too

And looking at the large format photos again, looks like its the B&W film is going to be 4X5, and the 8x10 film may be Delta 3200 (purple is also used on the Delta 3200 box)

Nice one looking forward to the announcement.

On this topic I'd like Kodak to bring out Plus-X Pan 125 again, that was my favourite film.

I've never thought of XP-2 super as a grainy film. Actually, I've always thought of it as exactly the opposite. I prefer shooting it at 100 and developing it in Kodak hc-110. It's super smooth with this combo.
Even in Rodinal it comes out with a finer grain at 400 than some dedicated black and white 100 iso films (like Fomapan 100 classic).

What are you using to develop your XP-2 super in? I'd love to see some of your work to get a better idea of what the effects of that processing result in.

Why not?

Our local camera store processes C-41 film every afternoon, but does B&W processing once a week, so I get much better service from them with film that needs C-41 processing than film that needs traditional B&W processing.

I wouldn't mind that, actually I quite like the effects from a 3200 film

I do the XP-2 in C41 at a local lab because of hot water at home.

When I do my own developing, it’s lately been the more traditional Ilford films in rodinal.

When I developed a lot of film, years ago, I never really got on well with HC110, but back then I was shooting all TMax, all the time...

There’s supposed to be a community darkroom opening near me soon, and they’ve promised a robust supply of ice to cool down the water...
