Re: [Frameworks] Kodak filing for bankruptcy?
Have you tried the orwo? I prefer the orwo stocks. Also fuji neopan is an amazing stock and maybe now will start carrying it in the US. I agree that 7363 is a good stock but there are other options too. If anything we should start pressuring fuji reps in ny and la to carry neopan...

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak filing for bankruptcy?
I asked the fuji rep in new york and he said that it wouldn't be profitable enough in the US for fuji to bother... unless Kodak went under...The more pressure we put on them, the more demand they will perceive. There is still a pretty good demand for black and white film. Perhaps fuji will change it's tune now...it's definitely better than sitting around and whining about kodak's demise. seth On Sat, Oct 1, 2011 at 12:29 PM, carli...@aol.com wrote: ** In a message dated 10/1/2011 9:58:02 A.M.
