RE: Konica Film in 120

["Eric Boutilier-Brown" <ebb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My reply from the Service Manager in the store I work, who contacted Konica
Canada in regards to the rumour of the discontinuation of KP750, 120 film.

> EBB:
>
> Contacted Konica regarding the Infra-Red 120 Film Product Number KP750 and
received the following information:
>
> Currently Konica have 1000 Rolls in inventory
>
> Special Note:
> Konica indicated that the information regarding the product being
discontinued is incorrect.
> Konica Canada Inc. only order this film once annually (month of March) and
typically the inventory once received disappears very rapidly.
> Konica advises that if you require this film an order should be placed
"immediately"
