    A Great VC paper

    Such a subjective thing. Different people like different things.

    For extreme variation between the least and most contrasty filter, nothing I have seen compares to Ilford MGIV FB glossy. Hard to beat for an all purpose paper in my opinion. Harder to selenium tone than others though.

    Oriental VCFB glossy is a beautiful paper.

    Agfa MC Classic is a nice, slightly warm toned paper with a clean base. I like it when I want a warmer tone. It is not super warm toned, which I like. I am not usually a warm toned paper fan.

    Kentmere VC fiber is beautiful. The surface has a beautiful texture. It is also very fast, if you have a dense negative. The range between least and most contrast appears to be less than with Ilford. Just a great, relatively unknown paper. If you ever tried Luminos Flexicon Fiber, you know this paper.

    So that is what I think for whatever it is worth.
