I’ve been getting to grips with some Fomatone MG 133 - the velvet surface. It’s quite close to the old Record Rapid 119 lustre which was my favourite surface. The pebbly grain on the surface of the Fomatone is slightly smaller than that of RR’s 119 but it has the same appealing sparkle when it catches the light. Quite a yellowish emulsion that takes a bit of getting used to but very nice stuff overall.

Shame it seems that the 133 surface is no longer being made, leaving the 131 gloss and 132 semi-matt behind. I think I read somewhere that the issue with some papers disappearing off the shelves is down to the actual paper substrate no longer being made. Personally, I’d make that a hanging offence.
