Let's face it, APS has proved to be a very big disappointment from a
retail/marketing perspective. The film format will be around for decades.
110 is still available and disc film/processing far outlived the
availability of the hardware. People who own Endeavors will continue to
buy film for them, (which means processors will continue to use
developing/printing hardware) but as a format, I'd bet my rent money on
another horse.
