>>There was a brief period in the 1970's when Agfa made a few downright
beautiful, sensual-to-print on papers (Brovira, Portriga, Record Rapid).

I never used Record Rapid but would actually consider a return to the
darkroom for a big stockpile of Portriga.
Until they ruined it, nothing could match it. That stuff was truly
beautiful. Right now I'm looking at an Edward Curtis print on my wall, made
on Portriga.
