My previous Agfa thread seems to have hit a nerve. Let us further
depress each other and visit the question:
If you could bring back 5 papers, what would they be and why?
Mine?
1) Agfa Brovira 111
For that silver/black "look" that is just untouchable
2) Zone VI Brilliant Bromide Graded
It had amazing blacks and a surface tooth I really loved
3) Polycontrast (Both F and G)
One of the first really great VC papers. It was forgiving and a
great daily workhorse
4) Kodabromide F
Amazing blue/blacks I've never been able to replicate on other
papers
5) Velox
The first paper I ever contact printed on. It had that same
blue/black look that I loved in Kodabromide
There are a lot of lovely newer papers and I print happily upon them -
Oriental, MGIV, Bergger, and Adox all leap to mind. NONE of them
are as beautiful as I recall the 5 above to have been ... but that
could just be my nostalgia talking ... sob ...
