VENT: Fuji your starting to...

Stu :) · 03-28-2005

...really &!$$ me off.

For those not in the know, but Fuji Neopan Acros in 35mm format is not available here in NZ, but Fuji NZ does supply it in 120 format and for ISO100 35mm Neopan SS. So I have to buy pro packs of 35mm Acros from the US. My last package was fogged real BAD.

So I gave some locally bought SS one more go... just pulled the negs out of the soup and no sire, I still don't like it.
According to Fuji NZ, apparently us here in NZ and Oz have to wait until the world supply of 35mm Neopan SS dries up before we get 35mm Neopan Acros here down-under.
However Fuji US tell me that SS isn't going out production yet, so in theory that means while SS is still made are not going to get Acros... ARGH!!!! <pop>*

Looks like I'm going to have to write a formal complaint to Fuji's HQ in Japan and/or consider changing my B&W ISO100 and 400 film choice to Agfa.

the power of email is amazing!

just keep writing and try to get as many others to do so also.

if nothing else it helps to vent.

Hmmm... thanks Joe. You've given me an idea.
A couple of the local camera clubs owe me favours, time to cash them in. I wonder what effect 50-80 photographers phoning, writing and emailing to Fuji (both NZ and Japan) will do?
