Did you not see this page on the KBC website, Chuck?

http://www.canhamcameras.com/kodakfilm.html

All sizes are 'available' in TriX, 400NC, Ektar and TMax emulsions. No
Kodachrome, dammit.

I will leave you to find the awful details - price, minimum order, lead
times....

I'd never heard of KB Canham cameras before your post.  So I looked and was
surprised to see some unusual and very large sizes such as: 4x10, 7x17, 8x20
and 12x20.  Those are inches and not centimeters.  Where does one buy film
for such things?
