Dear All,

Sorry to get to this late : HARMAN technology Limited have indeed appointed Cyber Graphics as its new and exclusive distributor in Japan. I am also pleased to announce that the full and comprehensive initial stocking order for our new distributor is on the water and we do not expect any stock outs whatsover to occur. A full press release will follow in the next few days.

I'm sure this is a relief to Ilford users in Japan and for those outside of Japan thinking this is indicative of things to come. Thank you for the update, Simon.

I don't mean to sound like a cheapskate, but is this new deal going to affect pricing at all?

Thanks Simon. We were waiting for you. It's wonderful to hear about the new distributor, which does have a pretty good online shopping and mail order system as far as I know.

Thanks again.

I agree. And we'll throw a party to celebrate the new distributor if the transition goes smoothly.

I'm not kidding to some extent. You don't understand how aweful the last one was. It even put that angry newsletter to tell their (Ilford/Harman customer to be more precise) about their discontinuing the import. That fired me up a bit. Certainly there were quite a few Japanese blogs showing big concerns about the future of the traditional B&W stuff because of this.

So, I really hope the new one is a good one for us.

Sorry, but I can't help today due to network "problems" (read: too much network security).

PM replied to, with copies to the rest of the moderation team.

Wonderful News

This really is wonderful news.

With all the closures and pullouts occurring in film industry I think we've become conditioned to expect the worst at the slightest provocation. But this turned out to be a very positive development.

Thank you Ilford Photo!

Think I'll run out and buy a couple of 10-packs of FP4+ to celebrate!
