Get all squared away on shooting, running the film and printing it it would have a look idenditived with me; my work. Then Poof! You KNOW it's only a matter of time these companies come and go I've watched it of decades. You know how exotic I get? Ilford! I've used the stuff for decades but constantly expect it to go under. For me there's no other paper. Pan F (asa 50) will still blow Tmax 100 out of the water. Same with software. If I've not heard of the company no way. Bought too much software from nice up and coming companies who don't even get bought out by someone else as they flutter to the ground. The just go belly up and pop. So I guess I'm saying I'm at the point where i feel much more comfortable with well known brands. If Delmonte cost four cents more than Fred Meyer Grocery store brand then I'll pay the four cents. I'm also into packaging. If Fred Meyer beans had a can that looked as good as the can of Delmonte beans I'd think about it. You know what I always say?! :) You can ALWAYS pick a book by it's cover.
