I hope the local division has the same offer... I'll have to check.
I did use a similar offer twice. I don't know why we never complain when it comes to free film  ;D
I also don't know why Fuji never puts out similar deals...

Thanks for letting us know, William. I've signed myself up as well. Yeah, it is too bad that Fuji (and Ilford, for that matter) don't come out with similar deals. I think Kodak is thinking twice about the film market after letting their business languish while Fuji and Ilford have prospered. Personally, I've become a huge fan of Ilford films since I shoot excusively in b&w. Since Kodak dropped Pan-X from their repetoire, it forced me to look for an alternative and Ilford Pan F+ fits the bill for most of my shooting needs.

My pal, Mitch, got a similar deal when he went to a Calumet Photo seminar that Kodak did. The local rep sent him some rolls of their newest films as well. I guess all I can say is woo-hoo! :)

I checked yesterday... the offer really is US only.
They don't even mention it on the Canadian site...  :'(

Fuji don't have to do offers because we know there product is good, it's all I use, love the PRO 160 S, kODAK gives away there film in hopes that after you try it you MAY buy it..I tried there Portra once for a wedding because I couldn't get my Fuji at my lab....like I said once....NEVER AGAIN....FREE OR NOT
