Would you abandoned digital? What if gas went to 10 dollars a gallon rather than two? Would they take the bus then? Do people think cars are more necessary to their lifestyle than film cameras? What if film is 20 dollars a roll rather than two? Will they still shoot it? Or will they just go out and buy a digital for a hundred bucks? Do you think that if the price of ink and paper increases by a huge factor that the price of getting film printed won't go up by the same margin? Or greater? I assure you, I am seeing the demise of film first hand. It's happening, and no amount of wishful thinking is going to change it. I will keep you posted as to how fast it's happpening, but right now, it seems about 50% dead. William Robb
