This is why I switchd all my 35mm and MF film to Fuji I would switch all my LF if I could get LF in non quickloads state side. So for now it is HP5 in LF.
I also received a letter from Mr. Komori this week since I send him a postcard (real photo paper!) some time ago. I'm delighted to note that Mr. Komori also have made an effort to write personal letters and not just a standard phrase letter, xeroxed in multiple copies and signed. Have I mentioned that I have a fling with Neopan 1600 this dark and gloomy winter?
Thanks for sharing this with us Bruce, if this proves to be true it will indeed be great news, but if my memory serves me correctly Kodak were making similar noises up to fairly recently.
