I processed in Ilfotec HC keeping everything in the Harmon family. Kentmere as a photo brand has been around a long time prior to becoming a sister brand of Ilford.

Without going into too much detail, the West Lodge needs a lot of love in serveral areas from adding in fire suppression systems, updated electrical, a new roof, I can go on. Needless to say, the situation sparked debate with one small yet very vocal faction of the leadersihip crying bloody murder.
