Response to Bergger Question

from Chris (bwdesert@yahoo.com)
Thanks for the replies. I have begun to suspect one of the answers to my original question is that few people lug 8x10's around anymore, and smaller cameras don't work well with older, grainy films. I wonder what dear ol' Ansel would be using nowdays...probably TMX-100 in his antique Hassy! My original post is indicative of my frustration with many photographers I meet who complain more than they create. The people who answered this post are not those type of people, since they have real world suggestions. The "who makes what" situation is interesting in that it makes me wonder what gets shipped from the Ilford plant in unlabled boxes. I think I remember someone saying they had trouble with the Bergger film base curling. That is the very reason I dislike Ilford, especially in 120. I especially wanted to say thanks to Ed Buffalo for creating his great photo site, and for trying all those different films and processes he does. It is nice to see someone who not only talks about creatives processes, but who actually goes out and uses them. Thanks Again, Chris
