I'd expect B&W labs to eventually disappear. I don't expect B&W film to disappear, and you can make the necessary chemicals and paper (Well, not silver gelatin, but Platinum Palladium paper is relatively easy to make).

I agree. Chemicals will likely remain available for those who want to develop their own, but (like you) I doubt that many labs will be doing b&w processing or printing much beyond another year or two. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
