By suggesting a scanner, you're suggesting then that the darkroom is dead. However, while its use may be declining, it is far from dead. There is even a resurgance in older darkroom and photographic techniques, and just the other day I learned, contrary to what many people, myself included, believed, Kodak is still producing their wonderful Azo paper. Talk about a small or niche market. So, if so small a market can be supported by Kodak for so long with what was a relatively obscure paper more than a decade ago, there is still plenty of room for B&W film of various styles and formats.
