AGFA is redirected to Agfa-Gevaert, but Agfa is not. That seems to be strange for me. Should we merge this page into Agfa-Gevaert? Since I'm looking to write about old Agfa cameras I hope there's some place like List of Agfa cameras. For now these information scattered in Agfa and Agfa digital cameras, the latter includes film cameras and scanners, not very easy to find. Poppy 04:22, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Unclear aspects of article
The AgfaPhoto article implies that "Agfa" (prior to merging with Gevaert in the 1960s) is in some sense the same entity as "AgfaPhoto". However, "Agfa" merged to become "Agfa-Gevaert", of which AgfaPhoto was- at the time of its sale- merely a division.
I can accept that AgfaPhoto's business at the time of the sell-off was probably quite similar to Agfa and Gevaerts around the time of their merger, but that's not really the point. Agfa merged to become Agfa-Gevaert. The use of financial language/details in the intro kind of obfuscates this.
If the article wishes to focus on AgfaPhoto as the continuation of Agfa's original photographic business (and include a full history of that), that's fine, but the article needs sorted out to clarify things.

- Have put a minor rewrite in the intro to address this issue. Fourohfour 15:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
