Hi Bill ... While I agree that film will probably be around, my biggest concern is that choices will be reduced further, and that camera gear will continue sliding into a plastic morass filled with gimmicks and cheap zoom lenses, and that strong, repairable, dependable cameras may slowly be disappearing. If, as the article says, manufacturers like stop producing film cameras, that slippery slope into the abyss will then be greased.
