I'm confused
PHOTONE - Are you asking whether Forte changed their ISO 200 film to Bergger's recipe?
URANIUMNITRATE - Are you stating that Bergger never gave any recipe to Forte and that Bergger just had Forte label some of their film as Bergger?
I think that is what you both said.
The highlighted first;
No there is no change of recipe at all. It's works fine as is so don't need to save silver out of the emulsion as others do. Than the film is not able to reproduce in the shadows aria with difficult light conditions.
A multiply coating had been applied lately.
The second;
They might have some recipe's brought from the other French manufacturer who went broke at least thet what they are saying but It's never been applied at Forte.
Don't be confused it's a moneymaking world and there is no rules to be fallow. Some times you make a bargain sometimes you got rip off.
By the way I have heard that the Indian paper manufacturer Sterling had been closed down too.
And it's all thanks to the cameras with the mobile phone inbuilt!
I think people about to understand that a lot's of things can happen or go wrong with digital imaging and some of those might even loose their family histories and a lot more! PC’s break down and CD’s might damage and newer technolodgy comes around which cant receive the old signals, just to mention some.
A negative is always a negative and been around for over a hundred years. I mean I have digital too it’s a Kodak “easy share” and it is what it's says easy share. I use it ifI want to sell my car or a lens on Ebay. The dog of the family worth more than that.
Don’t worry; we are the thru artist’s! The others are handicapped with out those hundreds of names coming up on their monitor when they open up Photoshop.
I call them “imageholics”!
(if there is no such word in English than I added this expression today to the English language) ;-)
