A company which couldn't, or wouldn't, provide me with a product brochure
when I called personally at their Mobberley HQ & factory a few years ago,
doesn't deserve too much sympathy. Particularly when something like 95% of
my B&W work was shot on their film stock.

Oh ya, I couldn't agree more. Hundreds of employees deserve to lose their
jobs because you couldn't bother to download the PDF online.

Oh the shame of it all.

It does work that way. A discussion in rec.photo.film+labs about Kodak
reminded me that I can't remember an advertisement for film that really
made me go out and buy it.
