I have tried ORWO, and find it to be a great stock. I think the UN54 is comparable to the discontinued 7231. However, ORWO distribution in the US has not yet been confirmed. I think ORWO and ReGroup are still hashing out the details. And Neopan is not currently available in the US.... Don't know why this has ever been a question for Fuji?
