AGFA IS CLOSING DOWN

Saturday, October 22, 2005

This will be one of the milestones towards saying goodbye to film. Agfa, which had been operating under bankruptcy protection is now closing down by end of the year. Agfa is one of the film manufacturers who did not manage to re-invent themselves in the age of digital photography. Details here.

Who is next, I wonder. Probably none? Other film manufacturers like Kodak, Fuji and Konica have worked hard to migrate to digital. Companies like Kodak may have to put their days of glory in the past but unlikely that they face extinction.
