I would like to try Kentmere. Today I am trying Forte Warmtone with
Agfa Neutol WA, and I really like it. I didn't like the neutral Forte
with this developer, though. It had that greenish cast, which could
probably be eliminated with selenium, but why bother if you can
prevent it in the first place.
I think Forte Warmtone may turn out to be my new paper when all the
Agfa is gone.

Today I tried Forte polygrade FB, but so far I don't really like it. Maybe I need to try different dialings on the color head, but the images look sort of flat to me, with poor separation in the highlights. If I try for more contrast, they get too dark in the shadows. Also it has an unpleasant greenish cast to me. I am still using my old Agfa neutol WA paper developer. Could that be the problem?
I guess my next attempt will be with Ilford. Ilford paper, Ilford developer.
Is there any consensus about what paper is closest to Agfa in scale? I like the Agfa developer and some people say that somebody bought the right to keep making it, but I am willing to switch.
Some people were claiming Kentmere. I don't know I've got enough paper for
quite awhile right now. Freestyle sells Kentmere both under the Kentmere
label and under a Freestyle label.
