Hugh 38 Posted July 15, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) This morning I went to the new Silverprint shop in London to get some B&W paper developer . While looking round I came across Ilford Warmtone paper and chemicals , which I had not noticed before . Has anyone used it ? What is it lie ? Any good for particular subjects ? Normally I use the Multigrade IV in gloss or pearl . Any views or opinions ? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Hi Hugh 38, Take a look here Ilford Warmtone. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
aesop Posted July 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2013 ...being primarily an MGIV type like you, Hugh 38, I have little real-world experience with Warmtone paper and/or chemicals. I did however chance across this thread on another forum: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-68406.html Not entirely sure of the protocol re: the citing of threads from other fora on the LUF, but that notwithstanding, I hope you find the posts instructive.

Broadside Posted July 18, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2013 I love warmtone prints. Back in the day I used to always use either Kodak Bromesko or, my favourite, Agfa Record-Rapid. Ilford Warmtone is a reasonable substitute for those long gone great papers. The images have a warm sepia-ish tone when processed in warm-tone developer and can be used for all subjects. Since you are used to Multigrade IV why not give Warmtone a try. I recently found an unopened box of Record-Rapid on the bay and can't wait to try it even though its years out of date. Just need some decent pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I think it is a case of giving it a try as s ugested. I have been given quite a bit of film , mainly Delta and T Max. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
