Forte (Hungry) is gone, went bankrupt a few From the rumours going around Forte isn't bankrupt they're just short of working capital. Different rumour claims a US shop is buying Ilfords B&W equipment and moving it to the US. Freestyle? Agfa has sold off it's film/paper division. I walked into one local photo shop to look at tripod heads and noticed the darkroom stuff has been moved closer to the FRONT of the store. No increase in space but still. The old darkroom shelf area is now full of filters. Of course they couldn't provide any help on the tripod head.
