| THE
VOIGTLANDER PHILOSOPHY
Years ago, one
of my clients worked for a gold mining company with an inflated
opinion of their corporate position in the marketplace. In an all-consuming
desire to play with the industry’s Goliaths, they decided
not to invest in any property with production estimated at less
than 1 million ounces. They steadfastly passed up many excellent,
smaller opportunities, ultimately riding this strategy into oblivion.
No one can accuse Cosina’s savvy president,
Hirofumi Kobayashi, of following down this path. By steadfastly
not emulating camera-manufacturing giants, he has championed a high-caliber
lineup that is distinctive, innovative and successful. No matter
how small and specialized the niche, Voigtlander serves photographers,
earning a well-deserved reputation for inventiveness, quality and
extraordinary value.
