I don't have the answer to any of this, but I know one thing. FP-100C is a fantastic, nearly magical analog product, and I hope that it stays away for very many years to come. I find so much deep enjoyment and satisfaction in being able to use my peel apart type Polaroid cameras. These small prints document so many parts of my life so nicely. It is my hope Fuji is able to make a bit of cash enough from production to remain satisfied, or perhaps an executive has a liking for peel apart or some sort of saving grace! I have often wondered though, if there is a connection with any other products, as when some of the Fuji Black and White products were discontinued, we lost FP-3000B...They need to get the negative for the pack films from some place....That's just thoughts, no fact.
