Good one Time Unit! In fact during Victorian times people used to imbibe silver nitrate for curative reasons, and women liked the pallor it gave them.snaggs,
Couldn't have said it better myself. That is exactly my stance. And the punch in the grain on HP5+ is a sight for my eyes. Personal (sicko) note: sometimes when the grain is just perfect on a print, I want to eat the print. I'm not joking. I haven't tried it yet, and I think I would be quite disappointed if I did. Still... my tummy rumbles...
I do indeed buy Ilford products, as well as Kodak, Forte, and Efke. When Kodak stops making black and white Tri-X and Plus-X and HIE, they will lose me as a customer. Until then, they obviously want that business since they're still making the product....
Here's a thought; Every spring Kodak raises the price of film. And just before that price increase, we hear Mr. Perez talk about stopping all film production. Could it just be a ruse to get us to accept the higher prices? Who knows. But I bet if you looked at Kodak's balance sheet, the ONLY profitable sector is film and sensitized material. Just remember that there are still a lot of dedicated people in Rochester New York, no matter where the CEO puts his head at night.
