Warren,
This
is a very good start. I'd like to see it come to the point more directly,
though, by asking them to continue producing and supporting specific films.
Since we're "petitioning" them, we need to tell them what we want them to DO in
addtion to voicing our concerns, support for their products, etc. It won't
tick them off to tell them what we want them to do, and if done politely
may be more effective than their usual market research, which is probably
done by marketing types (two drink minimum, etc.) who may know less about
film and photography than the most green members of this
list.
I'm
not sure how the special order request will go, but like Bobby, I'll go in for a
couple hundred, though I'd rather ask for a new emulsion. As Philip
Perkins has pointed out, many films have one or more characteristics of a good
astro film, and it seems obvious that a nearly "perfect" emulsion could be made
if they wanted to. We know they can do it, and we'd buy it if they made it
- that's what I'd like to tell 'em.
Sincerely,
