Subject: [Leica] The "impending doom" of film

Come on folks. Lets use some common sense here, www.jandcphotography.com 
and other places are selling Adox/Efke old style emulsion blah blah blah 
for... $3.50 a roll.

If Rochester get hit with a meteor and Kodak is forced to be out of 
business and Godzilla stomped Tokyo or wherever Fuji is tomorrow, I am 
guessing that those European makers can still sell Adox/Efke for $3.50 a 
roll. Heck, jack it to $7 a roll.

So it is a small market. So is Leica in the scheme of thing. So film is 
slowly dying.

But I am betting that there will be a B&W revival...
