At that price we must be getting close to a market that is reduced to an inelastic demand situation i.e. a small number( maybe very small) of consumers who would pay almost any price to obtain the product Mike |

The impression I get is Fuji are trying to price themselves out of the market, to kill demand so they don't have to bother making film and then concentrate on digital. Shame really, cos if they'd just sat tight for a couple of years they could now be riding the wave of film resurgence as Ilford and what's left of Kodak are.

I am not so sure about Kodak. Have you seen the price of bulk rolls of 35mm Tri X recently? Bulk film has always been cheaper by a good margin, but for the price of a 30m Roll you can buy more already loaded 36 exp cassettes of Tri X.
AG, when I asked them, could not fathom it either! |

I know how much credence I put in such explanations. Others say that Kodak is using prices to dissuade buyers from buying bulk rolls so the buyers decide the outcome for Kodak and relieve it of the responsibility of being "Mr Nasty" by announcing that bulk rolls sales will cease Well if this is the tactic I pronounce it a resounding success as certainly I will not now consider buying bulk rolls of Kodak. Each of us must decide how much Kodak is to blame for this situation. I have made my decision. Mike |
