when the people running to specify and require film that they supply, there
isn't much choice, is there? they've already filtered out anyone that
doesn't care to shoot film anymore. i've been going over Fuji and Kodak film
sales volume numbers and predictions. they aren't good and no-one, including
Fuji or Kodak, expect them to flatten out for 4 or 5 years at least. at
20%/year decline, that's a market shrinking to well less than 40% of it's
current size. if camera phones take off in the west like they did in Japan
and Korea, then the rate will be higher and the decline will last longer.
personally, i think 10% of today's volume would be about where Kodak and
Fuji may well decide to exit the market entirely.
