Every folding of a film manufacturer would presumably put more business in their corner. If only one of them were to hang in there over the long haul, I guess my hopes would be on Fuji. Their Acros and Neopan 400 could keep me afloat. Ilford seems confident in their future success. http://tinyurl.com/rba4w Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com http://400tx.blogspot.com/ -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 11:15 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Forte no more? Hi Jeffery, I think it is a mixed picture. On the one hand, we get announcements like this one, but on the other hand you have Fuji investing in reformulating and reintroducing Velvia, and based on what I saw in Prague a couple of weeks ago, Foma film is very much alive and well.
