It's unfortunate as Kostiner built some of the highest quality items for the darkroom. I still have a set of their stainless steel tongs which have literally thousands of hours of use. Unfortunately nobody makes an equivalent. Regards, John S. Douglas, Photographer - http://www.darkroompro.com Please remove the "_" when replying via email |

I suppose they couldn't handle the competition in a stagnant market. Personally I never cared for the Tiffen products but both Saunders and Kostiner provided excellent quality. Regards, John S.

Thanks, Drew Harty Try Omega Satter at one point they distributed Kostiner goods Ed Kostiner was part of the Omega board. I know Omega had some older Kostiner easels as I purchased a Factory new 11x14 easel when I worked thier which as others have stated was long after Kostiner was sold to Saunders. I checked a few years back FYI and Saunder still had parts you could, buy as replacement. Tiffen may have bought all that stuff, chances are its sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Tiffen went Bankrupt but is to my knowledge trying to restructure. Omega Satter 800-777-6634 probably better to email them via their website. -- LF website http://members.bellatlantic.net/~gblank |
