Those of you who use mostly Harman made papers and intend to switch brands, what will you go for?
Please vote. |

Once my Ilford films are depleted, then T-Max 400 would be a likely candidate to replace both FP4 Plus and HP5 Plus. Fortunately, I am a fairly small volume user of films due to other commitments. |

I have already started to use Adox MCC a lot and love it. It's my main paper now.

I had trialled MCC110 shortly after it was launched, but the price has crept up significantly. I stocked up on both Ilford and Kentmere papers earlier in the year and don't anticipate having to order significant quantities for some time.
When I do, I suspect prices across the board will have increased to some extent. At which point, I will compare prices and make a decision as to what my wallet will stomach - Even if paper reaches the point where it becomes unaffordable, I still have the option of hand coating or alt processes. Film, on the other hand, will be a concern once my current stocks run out. |

when my small stock of HP5+ is gone it will be fomapan 400 for me,I have used the film a lot and like it, and no QC problems in either 120 or 35mm, for RC I use Fotospeed paper, nice and very well priced at AG, and I intend to give the foma varient 123 a trial, I have a box of Ilford WTFB and when that is gone that is it,Richard

I liked Agfa MCP so probably a mixture of Adox MCP and Fotospeed RCVC.

It is coated under contract by Harman for Fotospeed, and to Fotospeed's own recipe, and is a totaly different paper to anything else under the Ilford or Kentmere brand, and the price has been held by Fotospeed for a number of years, which makes you think,Richard

I don't want to rule out any paper or manufacturer, just use what suits my style and pocket. If I can get the results I want from a cheaper paper then I'll use it (unless it's made from strangled Dolphins or something).
