I'm not aguing with you on this, how boring :-) Ilford is a sensible company that's been around for 100 years and obviously intends to stay around. The point I am trying to make is that Ilford can and do make relatively low volumes of specialist film products (and have ever since the widespread invasion of colour film post-WWII). I see no reason that when colour film has the niche market that B&W currently occupies that an equivalent to Ilford won't make it. Chris
