One of my favorite managers passed away a few months ago, when asked what he thought of a product Kodak bought from Ilford, he said to company leaders " It's a piece of crap". He was summarily berated, over the next three years Kodak would take a bath on Kodaflex while he quietly laughed. It gave the company a big black eye, I'm sure the M96 has sullied many a Porsche enthusiast, the company made a huge mistake but they are German and arrogant so they don't even return your calls when you phone Atlanta to complain. Porsche, there may be no substitute but poor customer service is a bad mistake in a world of increasing competition. Just Remember Porsche, Kodak laughed their butts off when Poloroid went down, think anyone at EK is laughing this week?
