committment to film. Check out this link,

Unlike Kodak, at least they still believe there is a future in film-based
photography. Thank-you Fuji.

It seems not only do they believe there is a future, they believe that
film is an essential part of photography.

At least there now is some sanity in the market, of course, Fuji has
become, some might argue, the prevailing film company. For example with
film, a photographer can capture realistic flesh tones while shooting,
something I maintain cannot happen with digital except with photo
manipulation software.

They certainly seem to have the best products in nearly every film
category now. Their consumer colour neg films leave their Kodak
equivalents in the dust. Their slide offerings are fantastic. I am quite
a fan of their B&W films too, although the addition of a nice fine 50ISO
B&W film would be nice. Fuji's other big strength is photo-finishing.
Their crystal archive paper, in a frontier lab, produces far nicer
results than any other brand of paper or lab.

I agree - perhaps it is from the grain, but skin tones always look
better (except maybe from a super-saturated film like velvia).
