> Yup, a whole lot of consumin going on.... The industry as a whole is showing declines in sales of sensitized products (film) of some 20% per year, Fuji is (apparently) no longer making B&W film or film cameras, Agfa is no longer making film, Kodak is no longer making B&W paper and has offshored their film manufacture to China. Nikon is making the F6 film camera and is rebadging a Cosina as the FM10, and has no intention of making another film camera, Canon is recycling their cameras without improvement, Pentax is no longer showing 35mm SLR cameras ar all. Konica is gone from the film market entirely. Infotrends is indicating that by the end of the decade, "90% of professional pictures will be taken with digital cameras, and less than 40% of professional photographers will still use film cameras". You'all just don't seem to be getting it. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
