Hear, hear! Well, mostly I reject Kodak because of their long history of planned obsolescence. Think of all those cool antique cameras that are mechanically very functional, but have obscure spool sizes. Also the film stocks that they have 'retired' despite all the objections of devotees. [yes, 120 film can be wound onto those odd spools, but that does not diminish my argument] Fuji has yummy greens, blues, and reds anyway.
