At the Fuji booth, I suggested they stop calling it Fujifilm if they keep
insisting on discontinuing Fuji films.

One rep said he sympathized with me, but noted, "When I started with Fuji in
the 1990s I had a territory of four states, with annual film sales of
$18Million.  Today my territory is ten states, and my total film sales last
year were $5800."  He then went on to note that Fuji had to throw out a ton
of film recently that simply wasn't finding a market.



Can't fight that logic!

Who still caged a comp roll of Neopan Acros 100 from the kind Fuji folks.
