Greg:

In B&W, I have not seen many Fuji films.  I think the only B&W  Fuji films 
I have seen in the fridge at the dealers is 120 Neopan.  In this part of 
the country, AGFA pretty well owns the B&W market, followed by Kodak.

Halifax has an Art College that dates back to the 1700's and the students 
tend to use AGFA because it is cheaper.  There is also a vocational school 
in town that teaches photography and they too seem to use a lot of AGFA 
products,

Fuji just may not market their B&W films around here because AGFA has the 
price so depressed.  I haven't done a comparison of AGFA B&W to Fujis B&W, 
but their RSX 100 in Bulk is half the price of the Fuji and Kodak films in 
bulk.

I checked Fuji's Canadian web site and Acros is available in 120 format 
only.  That might explain why I have never seen it.

Regards,

Robert
