[Leica] ILFORD Pan 400

[Mark Rabiner]

I thought they were bought out by somebody but no they were not they are still around and founded in 1879.
Wikiing it we find:
Pan F plus 50 (extremely fine grain) 
FP4 plus 125
HP5 plus 400
Delta 100, 400, and 3200
XP2 Super 400
SFX 200
Ilford PAN 100 and 400 (consumer grade, on selected markets)

Those selected markets not being in the US of A but be being wherever you are.
I see them in a package with a hole at the top so it can be hung on a circular rotating rack with the UV filters.

    400. In smaller print, "Harman technology Ltd Mobberley Cheshire UK".
