>From what I've heard:

1) Fuji C41 b/w = Ilford
2) Acros is made by Fuji
3) Neopan 400 is made by Oriental (no slouch)

Fuji made no secret of the fact that the C41 was made by Ilford. In
one of the British photo mags from a year ago or so there was an
interview with Ilford about it (more than a year, it was before Ilford
ran into trouble).

I don't care who makes the stuff, as long as Fuji keeps making sure
it's worth the green-box Fuji name.
