I think it's more interesting than them pulling out of the camera
business.
When I've been in Africa it has struck me that the most advertised film,
and
possibly the most widely available, was Konica. I wonder where this leaves
the argument that the 3rd world will sustain the film industry.
Over here, Konica is one of the leading suppliers of house brand film, along
with gAgfa.
The third world has to develop some sort of wealth for the masses before
they can support any sort of industry dedicated to what is arguably a vanity
based pastime.
