I agree with what you stated here, both in terms of moving to a digital
camera (it isn't the same medium as film, any more than video was to
cinema film), and I also agree that storage of film has a lot of
advantages in terms of archiving.
Of course, digital offers a lot of advantages in both

How popular were 8mm movies as compared to still photos
Poppy cock. As long as there are photographic *artists*, there will
be mono chrome emulsion shooting, even if no company chooses to
make film any longer.
I don't imagine that many photographic artists make much coin, but

I think Arthur and Austin are very much on target. Some specialty labs will
provide certain film services like scanning, etc.
Since when did artists ever have the market clout to dictate what would be
manufactured or supported by the manufacturers of mass market products?

When you start getting desperate for BW paper, let me know ;-). I have
pounds and pounds of the stuff, and that just may go up in price. I
have several packages of papers no longer made. Some may be fogged by

There are a good half a dozen new technologies waiting in the wings to
supersede LCD panels. It is one of the reasons LCD panels are dropping
rapidly, and CRT are literally not being made anymore (as I understand

I don't know how camera shops survive (minus a few
high end service oriented shops in a few cities where there's a
large enough and well healed market for those services).

I used Moniserv in Hayward Ca to get the CRT going again. Most of their

I'll plead ignorance here, but I thought the only silver based film is

I'm not convinced Nikon is the end to all ends of film scanners, so the
question is when will the whole market die.
My biggest complaint in film scanning is the lower quality of

Let me throw in my 2-cents worth, here. I think scanners of many types will
be around for some time to come. It does appear to be true that many
silver-based BW negative films are being phased out, along with the papers
to print them. Transparency film will rule the commercial roost for a long
