These days it's only the likes of Tri-X and possibly TMax that has the chance to survive in the big stable. As for Agfa - I thought they had announced they were getting away from professional films and only concentrating on consumer? They've already dumped RSXII APX etc in sheet and roll sizes and I believe the 35mm is due to go now. And I don't see Scala remaining very long. I think they are keeping some of their medical imaging side, but don't recall what's happening with the likes of microfiche film - again - that's an area that's going digital in archives etc (just as the medical imaging is). tim
