APUG Appeal - Please send a 'Thank you!' to Fuji

[abeku]

I'm going to send a real honest-to-gosh analog thank you note.
Stamp and all.

I think a few thousand real cards make a greater impact than a few megabytes of e-mails.

I'll do the same, Magnus! I'll make a postcard tonight from one the Neopan negatives I got and send it to them this weekend.

Email just sent. I use Acros exclusively for all my MF shoots and I just wanted to thank them for continuing to support us so we can continue to do what we love.

I hope oen day they will sell Acros in LF in non quickload! Now that would be awesome.

Thanks for the email address...

Kevin,
They do. See this site:

If I were to thank Fuji, which is stupid, I would sent it to Japan and not through the UK branch of the company to be forwarded.

Curt,

If you have a general-purpose email address for the head office in Japan could you post it here please? The UK address was the only really suitable one I could find.

Thanks,

Frank

Curt, there is an old adage, which I will paraphrase here, 'If you have nothing good to say about something, then say nothing.'

Aren`t we overeacting here?

I personally think writing to Fuji to show support is a good idea, when Ilford re-affirmed their commitment to us we (quite rightly) showed them our support and they responded by involving this community is some of their product decisions.

Fuji's statement is extremely positive, and most encouraging. In these days of digital doom and gloom surely an announcement such as this is deserving of a few words of encouragement from us (as well as supporting them by buying their products)? Imagine how bitterly some people would be complaining if their announcement had been in the same vein as Konica Minolta's.

They have also decided to be a sponsor of the APUG Conference. They know we exist, they are supporting us and they made an announcement that they will continue to support film. All the while, major players are dropping out right and left, many for 'sound' business reasons. I do think it is in order and worth the effort to send a thank you.

I know i'm thankful.

I support the idea of letting Fuji know we are out here. Not to mention I'd like them to do a special cut of Acros in 13x18 or 5x7 once a year or so. Here is the main office information:

Mr. Shigetaka Komori
President and CEO
Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
26-30 Nishiazabu 2-chome,
Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-8620
JAPAN

Thanks for that, Tim! Much appreciated.

A nice positive thread Frank. I have sent an email to Fuji and hope many others from around the globe will do the same. Sure is better than complaining about what we've lost.
