Merry Christmas to all!!!
Alan- I completely agree with you and I think it is important for us super 8 collectors to voice matters of concern in the appropriate manner, which you have done.
In reference to Joe's comment, I agree that retailers are generally concerned with making a sale (and shouldn't they be?), but I must also say that Steve Osborne and Phil Sheard are certainly much more than mere businessmen. I have met Steve personally and know him as a great super 8 hobbyist to the truest form, with a passion for the home movie business and one who is very considerate of his customers. I have not met Phil, but I think the simple fact that he is releasing excellent super 8 material in a market that is VERY DIFFICULT to turn a profit, speaks for itself.
Guys, I know it is frustrating with all of the conflicting information about releases and the waiting....and waiting...and waiting sometimes for stuff we order, but this has actually been a part of the super 8 hobby since the 70's and probably before that (unless you wanted a 200 foot Star Wars digest, which was available in practicaly every store back then . I'm not saying that there isn't room for improvement, but I have been seeing improvements in the super 8 business for the last several years.
This is an excellent forum where we can voice our opinion and as long as we do, I think the hobby will continue to improve.
Nick.
