Okay, film is just on life support.
Seriously, film hasn't found a different niche. It's found a tiny
niche. Yes, it will continue to be used by hobbyists and some fine-art
photographers, but for most of us, it's history. So repairing and
clinging to film cameras can be both a waste of time and money for the
vast majority. Fortunately, that makes film equipment very inexpensive
for those who do wish to partake.

Now who's being ridiculous?
If film is dead then why did Kodak make Ektar (now in 120 too)? Why
did Fuji reintroduce Velvia?
Why did a company show a new $1,600 enlarger at PMA? Why is
Voigtlander still pumping out brand new rangefinders and lenses to go
with? Not to mention their new Bessa III 6x7/6x6 rangefinder.
Film is no more dead than painting is dead. It's just found a slightly
different niche than it once had.

Never mind the fundamental truth of photography today: film is dead.
