Berg Color Tone

[OptiKen]

Does anyone know if Berg Color Tone is still in business?
I found some of their product on the web and it looked interesting but don't want to get started on something only to find I am the last flea on a dead dog.

Have any of you used their products? What was your impression?

Thanks in advance
Ken

Just today I bought a new box of their brown/copper toner from Beau Photo in Vancouver. I asked Nicole (who runs the film and darkroom department there) about Berg, and she indicated it was fresh stock, and that she thinks that they had some distribution problems for a while.

I recently did some tests with the brown/copper toner, because I had an unopened box sitting in a drawer for a long time, and it is very flexible and, where desired, quite subtle.

A few years ago I played around a bit with some of their more exotic colours, but I don't know how much of that is still available.
