I rather doubt we can trust it; here they show Acros available in Quickloads.

Ack... Is it any wonder we're all crazy trying to keep this straight?
I remember shooting the 1992 Olympic track and field with my little Minolta 3xi and 105mm lens on Fuji 3200 ASA color negative film in the dusk of a Barcelona summer night.
I recently scanned that negative, it's frame #11 here: http://andrenoble.com/Barcelona%20Ol...0Olympics.html
That ASA 3200 color negative film was really advanced, and now in 2010 with VR and IS lens technology which permits low level light shooting, it seems that NOW should be film's heyday.
On the contrary, I can't believe how rapidly film is disappearing. I mean, Fuji is dumping some really well researched products. is Kodak right behind? There out to be a law against it.
Chicken little hysteria, life moves on.
I think this thread has outlived it's utility....
I'd still appreciate a link or cite to the Ilford financial statements Lachlan mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. I searched again last night, this time including "Harman" in the words, and still found nothing. Perhaps if Lachlan doesn't have the link or cite itself he could tell us where or how he found it.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
Recent dire warnings got me stocking up on some Fuji emulsions.
Rumors concerning the discontinuance of Fuji Pro 160S proved to be that the emulsion was being renamed and the old stock number/name discontinued.
Wonder how many times Fuji can cook their books by sowing panic, getting folks to bulk buy and put it in deep freeze? I can't imaging that it helps the longevity of their film lines to keep their best customers on the edge of their seats. That just bolsters the case to switch to digital ASAP or wherever possible.
I doubt that any of this is the result of any deep dark conspiracy by Fuji. They are probably no different that a lot of other oversize corporations with a topheavy mgt hierarchy and poor internal communication between departments. When you add the pressure of the overall poor economy, you get all the ingredients you need to keep things confusing.
