RE: [Leica] Ilford film reliability

["Tim Atherton" <tim@picturedesk.org>]

Hmm - I've been using Ilford for the last 29 years (and I'm only 41...) in
everything from 35mm to 8x10 (including Ilford Colour slide and most of
their different films) and just about all their various papers, and never
come across any of these problems (and that includes many hundreds -
probably thousands of feet of surveillance photography) :)
