So long as it's quality stuff and it shoots to box speed when processed per the maker's suggestions, who really cares what it is and where it comes from?
If there's any issue you should all be obsessing about here, it's whether FPP are taking a gouging cut and fleecing customers by acting as another level of middle-man. OTOH if the buyer of a 100ft roll of this stuff is paying the same as the buyer of a 100ft roll of Kentmere 400 branded as such, there's nothing to object to, especially if it should come out that it's getting to people who wouldn't have access to bulk film without FPP's intervention.
That being said, FPP need to be honest with themselves and with others, that in the end they are merely another distributor, nothing more. If anyone's putting in hard yards right now it's Film Ferrania, and I really hope their efforts are rewarded with a permanent market presence, however small.
