well, the old, original Kodak company has stopped making it, and I never thought that day would come so soon. I had used Kodak BW paper my whole life.

One of the new Chinese brands IS Kodak, for what it's worth - they bought the process lock, stock and barrel - including the production machinery. In the meantime, I've got a bunch stashed away in the freezer, and if that don't work, there's always the east Europeans. For darkroom enlargement, B&H lists 8 pages of VC fiber paper, 12 pages of VC RC paper, 4 pages of graded fiber, and 4 pages of graded RC. Also 4 pages of VC roll paper. What I need right now is ROOM to set a darkroom up. Well, that and find all my equipment. I'm still trying to clean up and get organized from when I moved back home from school. There just wasn't enough room in the house for everything, but I shoehorned it all in somehow anyway. Now that I'm not working, I've been spending a lot of time trying to cut down the pack-rat clutter around here. I can process B&W film using a changing bag for loading into the tanks, but I need workspace to set up enlargers and the wet section for paper processing. I like digital, and most of my workflow is going to be digital from now on, but old fashion wet darkroom is fun. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
