The family had not owned the company for thirty years when this press
release was issued   They sold out at a premium early-on and have missed
the entire problem with the conversion to digital.  (To be honest, a number
of the Voigtländer family are employed by Rolleiflex, and there were a
number of intermarriages between the Voigtländer and Franke and Heidecke
families.)
