I was only thinking side-ways to widen the discussion!

I'm not too worried by this news. Film is back as a viable medium, albeit niche. A bit like vinyl is. Niche businesses can be very good for investors. Of course it could go wrong but that goes for anything

Well one thing you can guarantee is that they haven't purchased them because they like film, there is no sentiment in venture financing. The key to the press release I think is the connection to the younger generation which of course is most of us! So will there be a focus on profitable selling lines only, we will just have to wait and see.

I hope the future is secure for Ilford.

all we can do is only hoping for the best. Harman looks like a sound company so as long as it makes money should be at no threat.

Cheers, M.

A point of interest or not as the case may be but a Harman statement says that the face of Harman on APUG ( is face the right word for a forum presence ), namely Simon Galley exited the company on its sale.

Seems very sudden but I have no idea what we can accurately read into that.
