Ben;
Your point is very valid. Fuji has concentrated on slide films and Kodak has concentrated on negative films. This is why one will probably go to Fuji or Kodak if they prefer slide or negative.

I can't see what the O.P's problem is, none of the current range of Fuji Professional slide films 50, 100,400 or 800 ISO are lacking in resolving power, contrast or apparent sharpness, indeed are probably the the best range of colour transparency film currently manufactured, if he likes the propertys of Velvia 50 and would like a 100 ISO film with the same propertys, Use Velvia 100F.
Also one note to add to my last post. Several of the PS I know they also market Elite Chrome 100 but is is really the same film as E100G.
It is illegal in the US to sell the same product under different names AFAIK. I do know that Kodak tried to avoid that issue.

Kodak cannot sell one of its products with two labels. Recently the US government gave them permission to rebrand products for other companies. Before that decision it was illegal for Kodak and others to do so. So, what you describe is possible, just not by the same company.

I have seen that. I just bought some pills for my allergies from CVS, both under the same brand name. One was called Night-time Cold Medicine, the other Allergy Multi-symptom. The type and quantity of active ingredients is identical, the list of inactive ingredients is identical, in fact the rest of the entire box, every single word, is identical. The caplets' appearance is identical, too.It *IS* illegal to misrepresent it under one of the labels. But selling the same product under two labels is ok. A lot of things like vitamins and stuff are marketed that way.

As for the CVS medications, you did not say if the brand name was the same. You see, selling the same thing under two brand names is not illegal AFAIK, and so two drug companies may sell the same thing under their own company name but with different trade names and they may contain the same ingredients.
What regulation? The consent decrees of 1921 and 1954 were terminated in 1994.CVS does not operate under the scrutiny of a regulator enforcing an arbitrary regulation. Kodak, unfortunately, does. So Kodak lives with made up extra rules the rest of the world doesn't even know about. Much less have to follow.
Yes, Kodak has been declared a monopoly, but lately the US Government has been relaxing the rules. I guess they noticed that EK no longer is dominant!

This is a very complex subject that many companies just ignore if they do not fall into categories regulated or noticed by the US Government.
