Somewhere in another thread, Drew W mentioned in passing that he really liked Ilford's Cooltone paper. On a whim, I added some in my following B&H order. Sure enough I like it ....but haven't used enough of it to really pinpoint why it shines ....but IMO it does. I've used it in 8x10 & 16x20 with a range of negatives from subtle to contrasty, with both Ansco 130 & LPD. It's sure a gem with mountain scenes in bright light.I like it as much as the Warmtone & more than the Classic. It's snappy and the tones are clean and the tonal range seems to be long. Would anyone else who's used it a bunch care comment about the characteristics they like in Ilford Cooltone.
