Boy, this is probably a world-class dumb question, but here goes anyway. . .
Having just recently built and set up my darkroom after a twenty-plus year absence, I am using my Kodak polycontrast filters variable contrast paper.
Problem is, there is no more Kodak paper, so for the moment, I am using Ilford variable contrast FB paper.
I'm thinking that there shouldn't be a whit of difference between contrast filters . . . that the Kodak filters are fine to use with Ilford and other brands of variable contrast paper.
It's amazing how much stuff you remember after a two-decade hiatus. Some stuff like loading film on a reel, contact sheets, test exposures and the such are like riding a bike. But there are other things like actual film development, burning/dodging and so on that remind me how much I've either forgotten or become very rusty on.
Anyhow, sorry if this a dumb question but I'm just curious.
Thanks.
Jeff
