[LRflex] Re: Fw: Sad News for Photographers in the USA

Yes, it is sad, but not at all surprising. The company was poorly run and their 
priority has not been customer service for a long time. I can say this with 
certainty since I worked in two different Ritz stores.

Greetings from Nevin.
 
We need to futher preserve the 
interest in photography for both film and digital format, even 
during trying times.
 
I enjoy reading the Leica Reflex 
Group's many interesting discussions about cameras, image 
processing, etc. as well as seeing great pictures and comments about 
them.  
 
I would enjoy reading more comments 
about ISO noise and its treatment.  It would be nice to see pictures 
posted of before and after filtration treatments of digital images.  I have 
read about the use of Noise Ninga and NoiseWare but have not yet pursued 
them.
 
Hobbies are like therapy for me. The power of 
sharing information should be a blessed one.  Even in bad times 
we need to look forward and do something good.  Let's still buy 
film!   Let's help keep processing film labs open.  Let's not 
just use digital cameras.   It's nice to combine photography with 
another hobby.
 
As per David's suggestion, below is a link I 
am sharing with you about the Ritz camera firm's misfortune.
 
Kind regards,
 
Nevin from near Pittsburgh, PA in the USA (born 
June 20, 1936)

Hi Nevin!

Thanks!  It is, indeed, a sad day for US 
Photo enthusiasts. The truly sad bit is that there will surely be more, to 
follow.

This may be of interest to many US based LRflex members.  

I suggest you post a short blurb and this link

(not the article itself) to the list.

Thanks, once 
again!

Cheers!
