film production
Hello Ron:I've just finished reading all the replys to your topic.Maybe what I have to say on the subject is a little too simplistic but here goes.If you don't buy and use traditional film and paper,then we will all lose out.Companies like Kodak,Ilford and Fuji are not in this line of business just for the heck of it.I still buy Kodak B&W chemicals because they are the best quality available and are convenient to use.True they might be a little more expensive,but like you said,Ron,Kodak has done all the hard work,the R&D,product testing and re-testing and the other companies have used Kodak's data to produce their product,more or less.
So, in conclusion,if you want quality then you'll have to pay for it.If you want the lowest price and sacrifice quality,then that is the individuals decision.But don't expexct to get both,because it won't last very long.I still prefer to spend a little more,get a quality product and keep Kodak going.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
