When Tiffen acquired Domke, the effect was that Domke bags all but disappeared from the market. Time will tell.

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. ctrentelman In a message dated 9/5/04 9:08:39 AM, lug-request@leica-users.org writes: > Message: 13 > Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2004 16:18:43 -0500 > From: "Jeffery Smith" <jls@runbox.com> > Subject: RE: [Leica] R.I.P.
