Agfa Overload

Freestyle is your source of Agfa film and paper. It is under the private label of "Freestyle Reserve."

I believe it's only the RC paper being carried under the "Private Reserve" label.
 
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.

It would make a lot of people happy.

Ilford baby, Ilford.

Get used to it.

BTW, Ilford makes great stuff.

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.
