<snip> Good points, all. And they probably illustrate the ultimate end of film: That of a small niche product used by a few enthusiasts. Compare tha number of horse-drawn buggies in the U.S. to the number or automobiles and you'll probably be close to the correct ratio (although "miles traveled per year" might be better). What's happened in this thread is that two different arguments are taking place: The "Film is Dead" people are arguing that film is going to cease to be a general consumer product. The "Film Ain't Dead" people are saying that it will survive because it's useful for some specialized applications and because some enthusiasts like working with it. Both sides are going on as if these are contradictory positions, but they aren't. Ill be going down to North Carolina next week and taking several rolls of Provia to shoot in my 645. But I don't ise film for anything other than special occasions like this and even then I'll shoot many times more with my K10D while I'm there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
