Response to Has any one tried Classic-Pan 400?

Hello ! I've seen a lot of "noise" regarding Bergger products. I've read numerous interviews of the CEO of Bergger in France. He admited the do not produce themselve the papers they sell, but that those paper are custom made for them in west europe, india, and maybe other places. He told that they ask for a recipe because he knew this recipe is working because it was a Guilleminot one. And he stated that today, to make a FB paper you must be doing RC B&W or color in order to make the money the FB will cost you. But if I've understood him well, none of his contractor will have the right to use the recipe for its own products. So you may come close, but not the same. I was told that some paper where made in the Czech Foma factory and that they switched elsewhere due to quality concern ? (the FOMA group does not have FB variable papers on their listings) So you may have some papers from Forte, from Foma, from Sterling, and others... BTW someone told me that TETENAL papers are not made by TETENAL..... Who knows ?
