The truth is that they just lost the market to Ilford and Agfa, I think. I
noticed last week that the last store in Montr=E9al who used to carry the
Kodak line of paper no longer does. Meanwhile, Ilford and to a lesser
extent, Agfa papers, are easily found in the few good photo stores left.
BTW, I belong to a B&W only photo club and I know no one who uses/used
Kodak paper. Maybe they are/were good, maybe not, but they certainly
completely failed to market them in the last 10 years here in Canada.
No one here carries the more exotic brands - Forte, Bergger, Luminos... -
unfortunately and it seems that the local stores cannot get them even in
special order.=20
