[LargeFormat] Kodak Azo Paper

[tripspud]

Hi Clive!

     Azo's the last of the contact speed papers that used primarily silver
chloride
instead of the faster silver bromide types which made enlarging possible.  Of

course Agfa must have had a similar paper available in Europe, but that was
long ago.  Azo used to be available in grades 0 through 5!  Now, only grades
2 and 3 remain.  I've never used it, but I've got a 100 sheet box of grade 2
8x10 to try out.

Cheers,
