That was me :-) Film target production is running since months and
production was increased to several thousand targets per month.
But there was not enough time to finish some targets for end user
sales. It is a nightmare as already developed films are waiting here
for final measurement and sales since months.
While writing this message, I actually finish measuring those end
user targets so that sales should finaly start after my vacation. And
there will be some Fuji targets left over ;-)
Medium format targets are not covered by the IT 8.7 standard wich
is pretty precise on the size of the transmission targets. And sales
of non standard targets is too low in order to justify the costs in
adjusting the expensive devices here for the medium format.
Unlike other manufacturers, the density range of my latest Kodak
35mm targets are not really much different from the 4x5in targets.
Pretty much the same gamut. So you don't have to worry about
loosing details or so when using my 35mm target. Measuring
35mm targets is a bit tricky and does introduce a small error, but
test done indicate this error is rather minor. So you should be able
to use my 35mm targets with medium format film. And let us be
optimistic that this will also apply on the Fuji targets ;-)
