[pure-silver] Re: Film support Was: Free Kodak Film

O.K.,
        But it is manufactured by neither Kodak nor Ilford so we are not
relying on "The big two".  
        What I see going on here is that the big players who used to make
most of their money serving the amateur and processing lab markets are
pulling out because both of those have gone digital.  There are still
suppliers who can make money with smaller economies of scale catering to
those of us who still buy film and paper...if we will still do it.
      And, again, I have never really Kodak paper for fine art black and
white.  Ilford Gallerie, though too thin, was a lovely paper.  Other than
that I still prefer Oriental papers.
                CHEERS!

It is my understanding that Bergger does not manufacture any film but
only rebrands with their name.

I have just caught up on reading my e-mails.  I am a little surprised
that people see the alternatives to Kodak and Ilford, my two least
favorite papers, as second rate.  I have used Oriental Seagull paper,
both graded and VC, for more than a decade and IMO nothing comes even
near it.  
I agree that Kodak films are very reliable and Ilford makes films that
stain wonderfully in Pyro developers but Bergger sheet film is wonderful
as well though I prefer it in a non Pyro dev.  
Is this just opinion or have y'all never tried Oriental fiber based
papers?
                CHEERS!
