As of a month ago they were also selling Agfa branded paper. I got to stock up.
To be honest, I don't care what name MCC comes labeled as; I just like the paper, not the brand. Would be nice if Ilford just bought the formula and produced MCC 111 and MCP 310.
For me personally, Ilford USED to make an interesting paper, and a fine grained 400 speed film (HP5+). But their quality dropped so low, that I've given them up a few years ago.
Will now have to settle into Plus-X, Tri-X, Efke 100, Neopan 400 for films. Am experimenting with Foma papers, (I prefer a graded RC paper). Rodinal, HC-110, and T-Max Paper Developer for liquids.

I'm surprised to read your claim to have quality problems with Ilford products, that's a pretty unusual view. Efke 100 is a nice film but I wouldn't put their quality control at the same level as Ilford's but best of luck to you if that's your choice.
