Right. Black and white film is relatively easy to make. Color film
requires one of the most complex chemical manufacturing processes
ever developed. I don't give color film a long lifespan at all. My
personal predictions: color transparency film will be gone in five
years or less. Color negative film, maybe seven or eight years.
Black and white film, 20 years or more.

B&W in some form will be around forever. Colour is on life support even now.
