Response to Agfa May Cut as Many as 4,000 Jobs in Next 15 Months

from Charlie Strack (charlie_strack@sti.com)
I suggest we all learn to like Ilford films.

I was at my local camera store to buy some film for a trip. I got Tri- X 120, and judging by the wide selection of films stocked in the store, silver based photography will be around for quite a while. But is disheartening to see the giants come to their knees.

Regarding APX, if Agfa doesn't make it, it probably won't survive. Rodinal, however, probably would. It would be quite easy for Agfa to sell off the chemistry rights to another supplier, and they would have a cash value. Film production, isn't quite as easy a process to transfer without transferring the physical facilities.
