What I find really interesting and hard to predict is how film will
continue at this point. I agree that R&D money will be cut severely and
that the number of available emulsions will plummet. In the end though,
I think it will be profitable to produce film for quite a while,
although the [rice may rise as it becomes a "niche" item mainly for
specialized professionals and hobbyists. In the end, the availability
and price of processing may be the limiting factor. This latter point
may actually mean that B&W film may have a longer life then color since
the latter can be home processed.
The interesting question is will we notice big changes in 5, 10 or 25 years?
