Re: [APML] Fuji HQ 100

["Shekhar Borde" <shekhar@prodigy.net>]

SuperHQ has been around for years and years.  It is some ancient
el-cheapo emulsion that requires zero R&D and doesn't cost much to 
manufacture (which is why Fuji can sell it at $1.25 a pop).   I am 
guessing this is the same reason that Fuji doesn't list it in their 
catalog but continues to sell it.

I doubt it will go away in the near future.  I don't think Superia 
is a replacement for SuperHQ.  I have seen SuperHQ at "Tarjay" for
years and still see it every time I go there (I saw it last week).
