Shizzit. I couldn't afford to shoot film! Is it just me or is 20 million rolls of film (plus the 31 million one-time use cameras) is a lot per year? Seems like a lot of film to me. I guess when you put it against the former 1 billion a year number it isn't, but still. --------------------------- My Flickr Canon 60D - 65mm MP-E + MR-14EX Nikon D7000 - 1.4x TC APO EX + 150 2.8 HSM EX + Nikon R1 |

There's still a market for buggy whips ie; you can still buy buggy whips. They cost a lot more now, fewer factories make them and you can't get one at Walgreen's anymore. But to say they aren't available simply isn't true. Same for film: The selection will decrease, the places you can get it will decrease and the price you pay will increase. But there will be film for the foreseeable future. As long as there is demand, there WILL BE supply. At what price is a different but related matter..... --------------------------- 5th Generation Texian. (line 2) Watch this, Spot! (line 3) Have I shown you my photos of my grandson? Wait, don't run!

Oh, don't worry. Film was here for a while, digital will be around for a bit, then holographic will take over, and where will all of us digital fanatics be then? --------------------------- Bryce Carleton Photographic Brazoria County Photographic Arts Club EOS 7D, 10s, A2, 20D Texas Photo Forum: The last place you'll ever need to post a photo again. |
