I don't think they are going to throw away all of the formulae and knowledge. If there is a significant demand down the road, I'm sure they will be able to ressurect all of those specialist/enthusiast films, though you can bet on them being a lot more expensive. If there isn't enough demand, we will have to forget about it, I guess.
I use both film and digital. I just hope to use My Pentax glass on a nice Pentax digital SLR body.

Here's what I think is bizarre, though: As film photography becomes more of a niche of photography as a whole, those who use film rather than (or in addition to) digital will generally be more the specialist/enthusiast type. Yet as this transition is taking place, the film manufacturers are phasing out their specialty films like Kodak Gold 25 and concentrating on the mass market stuff like Kodak Max 400. Short term thinking at its finest: the films being phased out are the ones with the greatest appeal to those who'll be the only ones using film in the long run. I'm a film lover. I don't *own* a digital camera. But I can read the writing on the wall. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
