I still have some of those I carry around with me. They're about 35 - 40 years old now. Still looking good. After traveling around, more or less foot loose and fancy free (read: bumming) without access to a darkroom, I ended up in a long hiatus. When I finally settled in and could build one up again, I got some Kodak Selenium Rapid toner, trays, the works (V35 enlarger and a Durst for medium format) ... what? No Agfa Portriga Rapid? Never found a replacement. Digital printing gets me closer to those older results than the darkroom.
