Default Papers of the past

For old nostalgic's like me;

Any fond memories?

For me it's Ilford's Ilfomar and Agfa's Record Rapid (blue label - with cadmium).

There are a lot more listed than I can actually remember What wonderful names though - this list is worth looking at just for the names

Richard, Kodak's Bromesko was a lovely paper. I used it a lot when I first got into printing my own negatives. I still have a pack of whole plate, white fine lustre, grade 2.

Anyone who remembers some of the names from the list must be retired or nearly retired

Retired! I can remember more of them than I would like to own up too but not retired, just matured like a fine wine.

Some mornings it's not a case of "want" to feel that way; one look in the mirror is an instant reminder!

But with a camera in my hand and a glimpse of sunlight, the years fade away!
