Kodak to end production of black and white photo papers.

So, heres another big nail in the coffin for silver halide based photography. Fox News indicated that Kodak will be killing off production of their black and white photographic papers. I will wait to see if this means all production of black and white paper or just that which is made in brazil. But the portents are not good for students of photography, what with Ilford and Agfa all having financial troubles, time will tell. As far as I'm concerned these are I'll tidings, as I believe that every photographer should learn their craft in the darkroom and with black and white in addition to colour. Thanks to DPReview for this one.
