Eckhard,

Thank you for the good news.  You may recall that I asked a similar
question directed at Konica UK some time ago.  They would neither confirm
nor deny the rumour that Konica 750 IR is to be discontinued. Apparently
the decision to produce the film is made each year.

The fact that Konica are not able to sell the complete production run each
year the film is produced is not a good sign for those who use the film nor
for Konica.

It strikes me that we should be voting for a film using our pockets - "use
it or lose it" is a phrase which springs to mind.

Also it would be a very positive move for those on the list who use Konica
750 IR to give some really positive feedback to Konica via EMail or letter
telling them how much you like the film.

The same is true for users of Kodak HIE 35mm film - positive feedback to
Kodak will help to give them a warm feeling about the film.
