Oriental Seagull has been the reference photo-paper brand in Japan for decades — Ansel Adams used Oriental paper. Cyber Graphics leveraged that reputation to launch a line of B&W films made by Harman Technology. The irony: a 'Japanese' film made in Britain to replace the discontinued Fujifilm Neopan 100.
