[Leica] Konica Minolta to quit photo market - now Kodak stayingin film

[sethrosner at nycap.rr.com (Seth Rosner)]

Scott, I guess the answer is because silver halide film is required to use 
the overwhelming majority of all Leica cameras ever produced. And because 
its continued existence is important to many on the list. And because 
Kodak's continued production of film may be of significant interest to Leica 
users.
