Hello All!

I've used Kentmere Kenthene (especially grade 3) as my main paper for several years now, but I can't find it for sale these days. It's still listed on the Kentmere website, but B&H says "no longer available," and it's not on Freestyle any more.

Has it been discontinued? If so, I haven't been able to find any sort of press release, or even any chatter about it on here. If not, does anyone know where I can find some? Need to stock up. Edited to include: (Obviously I know I can go to the 'bay and I will if I have to, but if I can get it from a retailer that's preferred)

Thanks!

I don't know if it has been discontinued or not, but I found Kenthene to be a about one grade higher than the Ilfospeed equivalents.

e.g; Kenthene grade 2 = to Ilfospeed grade 3. I particularly liked Kenthene in stipple surface when it was available years ago.

Suggest you drop Ilford/Harman a line and ask who in the US sells it these days.
If there really are no US retailers any more, you could buy it from Firstcall Photographic in the UK (they are the only channel for Kenthene in the UK apparently)
