News flash - even if the big boys stop making film, as long as there
is demand, someone will meet it. There will always (and are) companies
that specialize in "twilight markets" and no, the cost will not be 20x
more expensive, more expensive yes, but not 20x. And I also don't give
a damn, what will happen will happen and there's not a thing we can do
about it (except speculate, which seems to be a hobby for some people).

investment will the naturally tainted and for sure, quite thoroughly
