I can't recall seeing that paper, let alone using it. 
When I came back, I went from Agfa to Dupont, and back to Agfa. Now, I'm
using Ilford FB warmtone, and Zone VI.
I can't get the same results in my prints that I was getting from my
negs back in the early 70's, and earlier. 
I'm also working on setting up a regular timetable to print up my
vintage prints before it's too late. I feel that the manufacturers are
going to bug out on us without much warning. 
I have little trust in the business community.
