The bottom line is that more films *are* going the way of the dodo and we can expect that to continue. My friends at the George Eastman House get their information straight from Kodak and when I was there for the platinum print workshop last fall they were lamenting about the film discontinuations to come. What's happening is that Kodak now loses money on still photography film: The only thing keeping them in the film business is the motion picture industry. (This is exactly the reverse of the situation years ago, when the consumer film side of their business supported the motion picture film side.)
When the movie industry goes to electronic distribution - and they're working hard on it - is when the axe will really come down hard on film. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
