Shel, I've found that the Kodak and Agfa sets are very similar. The Ilford set is different above 2 1/2. I've never had any trouble using an Ilford set with Agfa papers, but my Agfa filters and Ilford Multicontrast Warmtone fibre were a bad mix: everything seemed quite flat at 2 and below, but 3 and up gave me very contrasty results, with no middle ground to be found. Personally, I like the thickness and packaging of the Agfa set better (a book with pages that are individual pockets for the filters), but if you regularly work with Ilford papers, Ilford's filters are probably the best choice. Also, I believe Ilford's filters are the least expensive, which never hurts. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
