The Agfa papers were magic. My all time favorite was
Record Rapid. I missed
out on that paper when I moved from the UK to the US in
the 80's. Record
Rapid was readily available there, so I used to fill my
suitcase with the
stuff. It toned beautifully in Selenium.
Brovira was wonderful, with great black and clean whites
with great
contrast.
I still have a couple of boxes of Record Rapid and Brovira
in my freezer,
along with some other Agfa classics, like Agfapan 100
portrait, could only
find that in Germany, matt film base, and Agfapan 25 in
4x5 sheets - maybe
the time has come to use this stuff. I am sure the film
will give results,
not sure about the papers.
Mike
Record Rapid was sold in the US as Portriga Rapid. AFAIK
it was the identical paper.
