Feroz,
It seems like just the right time to take your savings and begin import
business. I mean, there must be profit still to be made from the sales of
film in South Africa.
And if you would kindly send me the titles, I'll gladly take all the
petrol-less Ferraris you care to give me. I'll even pay for shipping.
My wife wants an old Jaguar saloon car. She's told me many times that it
need not run, just so she can have it in the garage and sit in it when she
needs a bit of peace.

Subject: its digital only....
I have just been informed that by Pentax South Africa as of this month will
no longer import any film SLR's.
They want us to start pushing digital only. They will also no longer bring
anymore fuji film in (fuji & pentax are imported
by the same people) Kodak SA has no film for sale and Konica will no
longer import or supply us with unpackaged
film (retail packs are available, at a cost). They also might be phasing
out the import and supply of the chemicals needed
to develop film. Agfa will still supply chems cause it's the same stuff we
use to develop litho positives, but at a price...
So at the start of the wedding season (with about 200 weddings to go
before march 2006) we have enough film for about
2 months. I have weddings booked for until December 16.
I actually wanna sit down with my partners to see if its even worth it
keeping a pentax camera or should we change over to nikon/canon.
Whats the use of owning a ferrari if you can't fill petrol in it.
Interesting desisions. I wonder if the nikon list is quieter :)
I have no idea which way to go...for those who did some pointers would
really be appreciated.
Thanks
Feroze
