Fuji 160S and 160C may not come to USA

[r.t. dowling]

After being told by Fuji tech support that NPS and NPC were *not*

being discontinued (contrary to what is written on Fuji's Photokina

site), I sent them this:

 

"Does that mean that Fujifilm will be manufacturing NPS/NPC *and*

160S/160C?"

And this was their response:

 

Dear R.T. Dowling:

Thank you for contacting Fujifilm, USA. Please allow us to assist you.

 

Please be advised that Fujifilm USA is not discontinuing our NPS/NPC

film and replacing it with 160S/160C. The website that you receive

this information from, does not pertain to Fuji Photo Film, USA.

 

Thank you for your interest in Fujifilm products.

 

Respectfully,

I guess we just need to relax and wait and see what happens. Why stress over speculation of the complete unknown? I do not see anything in that reply that says 160S and 160C may not come to USA.

Told you so :-)

Lets get back to this in 6 months when it might actually be available somewhere in world, ok?

If not, maybe a .jp photo.net user could throw a bunch up on ebay? :)

Even if not officially distributed in the U.S., I suspect that it will be available through B&H and other mail order houses.

The announcement that you read was a release from Photokina in Germany. Keep in mind that it is standard practice for many companies to market similar prodcuts in other countries under different names.
