It is well known that some films and papers are made for each other because of their complimentary characteristic curves and that some combos hate each other. Just wondering what others have found to be good film/paper pairings?

My favourite combo was Verichrome Pan (developed in PMK) onto the old Agfa FB MCC.
I also loved the way FP4+ printed onto the last Kodak RC paper (can't remember its name)

I have a lot of favorites, but to list a few:

1. Delta 100 in Clayton F-76+
2. EFKE 25 in Spur Acurol-N
3. Just about anything in Pyrocat-HD

and, what the heck, a 4th: Tri-X in HC-110(b)

My favorite films & papers are no longer made; APX 25, Pan-X and K25. My favorite papers are no longer made, but I had several; old Agfa FB, Kodak FB, and some of niche papers by Luminos. Today it would be FP-4 in Rodinal printed on Ilford Gallerie.
