Agfa Multicontrast with Ilford Multigrade filters

[Fintan]

Guys, do you know if Agfa Multicontrast paper is fully compatable with the Ilford filtering system? Do all the grades correspond?

I have a conversion table in the darkroom I'm using. I will post it asap.

They are totally different.

Les is right! The table I have is how to use the colour head for both Agfa and Ilford paper...I go back to sleep

Fintan,

being so glad I'm able to answer a question ... ;-)

Both Multicontrast Classic and MC Premium are compatible to every kind of filtering with the Ilford standard.
Sorry but I only have found the german version of the data sheet at http://www.agfa.com/de/photo/pdf/products/P-SW51-D2.pdf , which confirms this theory

I cant find any conversion chart on the web. Does anyone have more info on this issue?

just found a work-around in Steve Anchells book The Variable Contrast Printing Manual.

thanks to all that posted

#00, #0, #1/2, #1, #2, and #5 works for me. The rest are repetition. I'm using the Zone IV cold light head. Result may differ from yours. But generally the lower grades are usable.

Can you explain the workaround?
