Anyone who isn't looking into digital at this point is as likely to get
"locked out" as "locked in". As Mike Johnston pointed out, it's going to
be a different universe in three years with respect ro digital photography,
whereas film will have changed little, if at all. The days of major film
improvements are behind us now. Not for reasons of physics and chemistry
but because of budgets. Money for film R & D is *gone* now. Here in Rochester,
I know a *lot* of people who work for Kodak. One of my best friends is a
chemical engineer at Kodak who, until recently, worked in one of the negative
film groups. The cutbacks in the past year and a half have been sweeping,
to say the least. His entire *group* was dissolved. He was one of the lucky
ones who didn't get laid off but he did get moved to another department
and is now working on papers. Inkjet papers.
