My problem recently and still to some degree is that all the FreeStyle products were changing and then they added a couple more lines in Edu and Edu Ultra. Not to mention Freestyle classic. As I was trying to keep up with what is what and doing some research on switching papers I would buy a small pack and then hear it had changed and so my test was not trustworthy and I had to test again. I have since given up on the other Freestyle products.. the edu film and paper and edu ultra film and paper, though the sheet film price is very tempting. I guess for myself I will stick with Kodak. At least I am pretty sure what I have except of course I don't know if I still like TMY or not but I have a couple hundred sheets of 8x10 old tmy in the freezer and glad of it.

As an afternote,I should add I am comming to this problem more from the perspective of historian rather thanphotographer. It is frustrating from that angle too.Anyway, I am sorry for the number of typing and spelling errors in my last posts...

CONCIELING the "Who, What Where" is the issue.It is not what's under the wool I am angry about... it is the wool itself.I am in no need of not knowing who makes my film. Do you know people who actually NEED not to know? Ray --- "Dana H.

What does it matter where it's made as long as it consistently performs according to spec? The "what you're buying" *is* determined by the specification.
