Thanks for the downer, Mark. <g> I've read a bit about the Switzerland plant closing. Apparently, the plant will close gradually, starting with motion picture film. I wouldn't expect 35mm to last through 2007. I'll try to track down some references for this and post links. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
