I'm always skeptical when a company's finances are in trouble. When
Tiffen acquired Domke, the effect was that Domke bags all but
disappeared from the market. Time will tell.

like delta 3200? Then keep buying it -- as long as there's a market
they'll 
probably keep making it, and if there's a market the company will have a
better 
shot at finding a buyer to keep it going.

the company has more than 60 percent market share, that HAS to be
viable, 
it's more a matter of shrinking to meet the new quickly reduced demand.
Thjat's 
tough and can kill a company. The big Yo-yo boom of the 1950s killed the
Duncan 
company, and there are many other examples.

but no reason to kiss films good bye yet.
