Response to Has any one tried Classic-Pan 400?

Absent any response from "Mrs. Durer" I had already done a Google search and evaluated the viability of trying Classic Arts Polykaltton. Let's see: no 8x10, the next larger size is 24x30 cm; 50 sheets cost 27 Euros; assuming that package is under 2 kg, add 15 Euros for international air mail shipping (do I worry about x- rays?); when it arrives at my US Post Office I go there, fill out a Customs Declaration and pay tax and duty. No thanks. We're not discussing Gitzo carbon fiber tripods and Robert White here. Even if this paper is an exact duplicate of Bergger's fiber VC NB, it hardly seems worth the trouble. Mr. Horowy does a fine job handling all the importing details, and Calumet just sent a flyer announcing it carries Bergger papers, including prices lower than those at B&H. I'll happily support those importers who provide quality products at a reasonable price with good service. Location of their manufacturers' factories is of no concern to me.
