I've used quite a bit of Kentmere both under its own
name and as one of Freestyle's house brands. Its good stuff
but I don't know how to compare to Ilford. BTW, Ilford
recently bought Kentmere. I don't think this will be the end
of Kentmere but, at best, will insure that a greater variety
of papers remains on the market. Kentmere makes a warmtone
paper I like a lot.
   It is BTW a very old company.
