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
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/23/AR2009022302669.html?wpisrc=newsletter&wpisrc=newsletter
(not the article itself) to the list.

Thanks, once
again!
Cheers!
