Yes. I agree. This Olympus D-360-L will join it soon, I'm certain. But
can the film industry survive the "barbarians at the gate"? These soon
to be obsolete cameras are but bits of plastic and semi conductors. I
wonder how much actual "material" cost there is in them. Therefore, not
a problem for the maker if they're obsolete and thrown away. They'll
make more, and the next one's even better....

How long will they continue to R & D film? (especially my favorites like
Plus - x pan, and FP 4+?)

And I too. I'll buy film for my Spotmatic F as long as I can, and they
make it available to me...
