Of course the problem could be with a particular emulsion.
Who cares where a good product is made.
Having tried all the emulsions currently available in the UK I can say
that the SE1 bromide emulsion is the fastest and most contrasty I have
tried. There are several other companies selling the same emulsion
under different names but none as cheap as the SE1 brand.
