[Leica] New Kodak company to continue selling film - British Journal of Photography

[jshulman at judgecrater.com (Jim Shulman)]

Which is an interesting point: demand.
The last of the decent (though not exotic, such as a Leica or Nikon F6)
35mm cameras were made about fifteen years ago.  Even on Craigslist decent
film cameras (such as Pentax K1000) are getting to be a scarce sight.
Very, very few people on this list regularly shoot film.  Regularly to me
means about once a week.
Film has to be made in very large runs, or else it's not financially
feasible.
Given the recent price rises in film, I don't know how many tri-x takers
will be eager to expose 36 frame for five bucks (before processing).  If
you think that's bad, consider 36 exposures of Velvia 50 for $12!

Sounds like I'll have to start practicing with my FILCA cassettes.

Jim
