[pure-silver] Re: Free Kodak Film

I would prefer to use Kodak, but I had just finished
an extensive amount of testing on Plus-X Pan to
determine the best EI and developer for me, when Kodak
discontinued it (in 4x5).  Since then I have shifted
almost all of my film useage to Ilford, I am less
religious about paper - but then Kodak isn't much of
an option there.
