    Re: Fuji lauch 'choose-film' website

    It's great to see such a site developed, and as Downix said, Kodak should have done the same 10 years ago .... Fuji ROCKS! :)

    They should have called it The Gastropod, since it looks like a threaded garden slug.

    Hi QT,

    Re: Tachihara Stability

    I've had my Tachi since 1998 (it was built in 1997 if the serial number is indicative). I've never had a problem with rigidity.

    Oh, and the Tachi is rock-solid too. :)
