Fuji film works very well, and is a little cheaper than Kodak. I bought Kodak out of loyality to "Made in USA". I will be buying Fuji from now on.

In my previous experience with Fujifilm, the colors are a lot more saturated than the equivalent Kodak film. If you take amateur snaps, expect a more colorful experience.

If you're a pro, it allows more latitude to do your magic.

Here's my letter.
If they respond, I will post that later.

I am writing to notify you that I will no longer purchase any Kodak products.

Your company's treatment and firing of Rolf Szabo goes beyond the pale.

Your company was wrong to have a "Gay and Lesbian Coming-Out Day". Do you plan on having a "Jewish Coming out day" or a "Heterosexual coming out day"? I didn't think so.

The diversity and "tolerance" of gays only extends to the gays and no one else.

A company sponsoring a "Gay and Lesbian Coming-Out Day" is "disgusting and offensive".

Good luck in your future

Good luck, I expect you will be hearing from many others regarding this issue.

I will now strictly purchase FUJI film from now on and will not purhcase any other Kodak products as well.

Respectfully,

It's sexual harassment. At least until they start celebrating "Congratulations on losing your virginity to a heterosexual Day".

Well, when my six pack of Kodak film runs out, I will only buy Fuji Film from now on.

This is shades of the Gay Extortion Fascist Mice which run Disney. I have not bought a single Disney product nor will I go to any of their Gay Playlands since they started the Gay Fascism that controls Disney/ABC.

Sometime next year, I will go to a digitial camera and there will be no need for Kodak nor Fuji.

If these companies decide to cater to 1 to 2% of the population, and that 1 to 2% is are the perverted predators, they will slowly go out of business. So be it.

I've been using Fuji Professional film for some time now (it is usually refrigerated at camera stores).

Sue their butts Rolf. Few would have the guts to do the same.

Fuji film is made where?

[B Knotts]

Looks like at least some FujiFilm products are manufactured in the U.S.A.

[Cousin Eddie]

In the Carolinas, I believe. Basically, all of the film manufacturers produce all around the world. Fuji has a lot of plants here, Kodak has huge plants in China and elsewhere, etc.

Actually my wife and I already have a digital camera, (good thing to or we would be broke from taking pictures of our daughter). We've shot maybe a roll of 35 since we got the digital last January.

For our 35mm though we're going to switch over to Fuji exlusively.

Bump, I love sending Freepmail to PC companies. I reminded them that retail sales are not expected to be good this holiday season and told them I would do everything I could to make their's worse.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks, this makes my move to Fuji Film a lot easier. I know the Film works well as I have tried a few rolls when its price really beat Kodak.

[Grampa Dave]

What you posted below is one the big reasons I took early retirement when it was offered to me. I could see the hand writing on the PC wall as a senior, married heterosexual male who was a Christian with Anglo Saxon genealogy and the worse crime of all, being a conservative.

This kind of P.C. fascism doesn't surprise me. Most Fortune 500 Companies have their H.R. departments packed with radical homosexuals, feminists and "get whitey" bureaucrats--all under the guise of "diversity" (read: anything except white men, Christians, heterosexuals, or conservatives)

I sent my email to Kodak...what stupid jerks..Go Fuji!

[N. Theknow]

I sent my email to Kodak...what stupid jerks..Go Fuji!

Just sent them my email stating that one of their customers form 620 film through 127, 110, to 35mm is now a Fuji forever. Just thought I should "Diversify".

[exnavy]

I'll buy Fuji film for a while, thanks.

My brother, who is a professional photographer, recommends fuji film. He doesn't recommend kodak at all. He says fuji film quality is better than overpriced kodak.
