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

A lot of variability in their stores as far as what they carry and the
customer service/sales expertise.    I will have to say that their
Riverside, CA store on Magnolia is one of the best camera stores I have been
in.  Great service and the staff knows what they are talking about. Of
course, they are mostly limited to what Ritz can carry (no Leica) but I make
a point of going there when I am visiting SoCal.

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

Thanks, once again!
