I don't know if film will actually die. Someone somewhere will continue to
manufacture film stock if there is any demand at all. It's interesting
but some
discontinued film types have even made something of a comeback.
Expensive but
available. A few years ago you couldn't get 620 or 828 sized film. Now
both are
available if ordered on the Internet. There will probably always be
enthusiasts who want to
shoot b&w film. At least enough world wide to create enough demand for
one or two maybe
even more manufacturers. Maybe not Kodak, or Fuji, but someone will be
there to satisfy
the demand.

I read this item earlier today. Thus my posted
question.
While it further defines a downward trend, it doesn't
allow me to mentally plot future production levels or
a discontinuance curve.
Factory locations, identified in the article, are only
of interest to the 1,000 employees in those areas.
How much world impact will be felt by discontinuing
some present operational plans in China?
I've read the heavy negative percentages assigned to
film sales forecasts, but feel these must be assigned
a reactionary status at this, still early, date.
Thanks for input.
