Lodima.
Where can I buy a box of this paper? It will be used for making contact prints from 8"x10" negatives.

Go for it Keith, it really is beautiful paper. I just hope he goes ahead with the production so I can finish a project I recently started. I'm printing all of the work on this paper. I bought a box of 100 sheets from the pre-production run. It was marketed as grade 2 but is in fact grade 3, so it's a little hard at times but responds well to water bath treatment. Needless to say I've pre-ordered a few boxes at both grades 2 & 3.

I think he needs a certain number of pre-orders for it to be viable.
Silverprint and Retro have so far given no indication that they will stock it. I believe for European orders it will ship from Europe so this will help save on carriage costs.

Out of curiosity, do you know which manufacturer makes Lodima and would it be possible to order direct from them?

As far as I know Michael A. Smith has not published the European manufacturer of Lodima.
At present Lodima is only available from Michael and Paula's website.

I understand this paper is intended for contact printing, but having seen some of the results Ifancy giving it a g for enlarging. Is that feasible, of would the exposure times be ridiculously long?

For contact printing I use an oversize 60 watt lamp at a distance of 8" and the exposure times are on average between 20, 25 seconds.

I've had an email from Michael telling me that he will be putting an order in fro Lodima in next week or so. He has managed to secure a smaller order than the manufacturer initially wanted and the prices look like this:
Size and Quantity Current price Price after August 7 8x10-100 $139.95 $149.95 8x10-250 $324.95 $349.95 9x11-100 $174.95 $189.95 10x12-100 $209.95 $224.95 11x14-100 $269.96 $289.95 8x10-100 $279.95 $299.95 14x17-50 $254.95 $274.95 16x20-50 $279.95 $299.95 20x24-50 $419.94 $449.95 Rolls 60cm x 25m $409.95 $439.95 I wonder if anyone is interested in a group order? Michael has agreed that if we palce an order he will package it individually for each of us and then ship it in one box. Anyone?

Paul,
I would be interested in trying this paper. What size(s) did you have in mind?
