Nikon's discontinuing LF lenses, Enlarger lenses and all film cameras
except the F6 and FM10. Also almost all the AI-S lenses are being
discontinued.
Hmm. Looks like the 45mm f/2.8 is gone.
Hmm, wonder who will do this next? Probably Minolta.
How 'bout Olympus? <g> (Do they have any film cameras left at all?)
Seriously, I expect the next ones will follow in such quick succession
that it'll be difficult to determine the order.
Olympus left the 35mm SLR market what, 15 years ago? and the P&S film
market died permanently off a couple years ago.
I expect that in 2 years the only major manufacturer of 35mm SLR's will
be Cosina Voightlander.
