Ask the people at your local photolab what sort of film volumes they are processing now as compared to 5 years ago. You may be seeing a few people still carrying around film cameras, but they aren't taking very many pictures. The last numbers I had available to me regarding film processing(spring 06) was that we were running about a fifth of the film we had been processing 5 years previous, and over half of it was from single use cameras. I don't think it has gotten any better in the last year. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
