It ain't film :-)

It looks like one part is heading for nostalgia, the other one to 
explore off-spins of the coating technology for other industries 
(Harman). Not a bad concept. But Ilford competing with Efke is getting 
half of what already is a niche. An they are not allowed to enter the 
inkjet business in competition with Swiss Ilford.
