Has any member got any RA4 color paper they are not going to use and would be willing to sell, I am also after a Kodak Viewing filter set if anybody has one they don't use.
 
Sadly I cannot help you out with the paper and the viewing filters. However My filters are used only as a guide as to what direction to change the filtration. With FUJI being the only type available Kodak filters are not designed to be used with Fuji. Basic filtration can be as much as 20-30units different between the papers and the calculations suggested with the instructions for the filters and exposure compensation will be way out of kilter. They are useful but not as much as they were with Kodak Papers except as guide what direction to change the filtration,

If you have to buy paper from a dealer then I usually find MORCO near Newark are the most competitive where prices are concerned when compared with the likes of AG and Process supplies.

UPDATE
If you still want to buy a set, Second Hand Darkroom usually has them for sale around a tenner.

Further update to the above post ref colour paper.

I am assuming everyone is aware that Firstcall Photographic has changed hands. The owner Rodney Bates has retired and the business has been taken over by another company I had never heard of before. It has the same website (for the moment) but be aware that the prices are nudging upwards especially in the colour paper stakes. A box of 50 12x16 Fuji used to cost around £65 - £75 They have it now priced at well over £100 or at least £2.20 per sheet. That is diabolical and sheer greed. Others like, AG, Process Supplies and Morco are still well under £100 with Morco still the cheapest.

I have not checked their B&w paper prices yet but will do and avoid them like the plague
