I’m returning to film photography after some time away and am trying to source 220 roll film and 8×10 sheet film. Are these formats still available, and if so, which types of film are commonly still made and where should I look to buy them?

There are a number of places where you can buy film today. That's mostly online now, but depending on where you live that could also be a specialty shop in your city.
To answer your question, 220 and 8x10 are still made, but not for all emulsion types. Ilford (BW only) for example still makes 8x10 but 120 only, Fuji and Foma also make 8x10, Kodak is the only one I know of that still makes 220 but only for its colour negative line.
Here are two US based online shops where you can buy film, and filter by size

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Yes—both formats can still be found, but availability is limited compared with the past.
From the community answers:
- 8×10 sheet film is still made by some manufacturers, though not in every emulsion. Examples mentioned include Ilford (black-and-white), Foma, and Fuji.
- 220 roll film is much rarer. The answers indicate Kodak is the main maker still associated with 220, and mainly in color negative film.
The best place to look is usually online specialty photo retailers rather than local general camera stores. Shops specifically mentioned were:
- B&H
- Freestyle Photo
- Adorama
If a website doesn’t show what you need, it may still be worth calling the retailer directly. Specialty dealers often know current availability and may suggest alternatives if a particular stock is discontinued or temporarily unavailable.
In short: yes, both 220 and 8×10 film are still possible to buy, but selection is limited and format/emulsion options vary by manufacturer.
