Default i am becoming very adventurous

a little while ago I bought 10 rolls of fomapan 35mm now I have bought some more fomapan but in 120 to try as a portrait film ,I may in the future buy some kentmere film.But last night I went mad and bought two 10x8=100 boxes of fotospeed rcvc gloss paper ,this living on the edge, devil may care attitude seems to have come from somewhere ,can a man of 60 go through the change if so I am:-) ..looking forward to trying fotospeed paper its 7p a box more than my usual Ilford but I fancied a change...:-)

Happens to us all, as I passed 65 I decided to leave RC behind and use FB paper, I bought 2 boxes of Adox mcc glossy paper, I am now enjoying it, for years I always said I would never get a Leica camera, overpriced and better rangefinders were available at half the price, I recently tentavily bought a leica IIIc, thought it was maybe time to add one to my collection, I now have not only the camera, but a w/a Elmer 35mm lens, but a Komura 80mm and a canon 135, plus suitabable extra viewfinders, but don't tell my better half how much I have spent, You should enjoy both the Fomapan film and the Fotospeed paper, they are both fine products, Tne film is different, and the paper is slightly warm in tone, Have fun
Richard

Life is to short Paul. Enjoy your walk on the wild side so to speak

In my experience it does no harm to raid one's personal 'piggy bank' from time to time to head off in a new direction. Be it new gear or different materials, you never know, this change could drive you on to a new level of creativity - enjoy

Mine has been raided too many times. It's permanently empty now!
