I mostly collect original blues and R&B vinyl records from the 1950s. Many of these are 78s, which is probably a format that some might remember in this forum, but I'd guess that no one would be buying today. I play 78s on a dedicated 78 player, and guess what, its a modern one still manufactured today and I'm planning to buy another. I mainly buy original records, but also reissued vinyl pressed today. Again, I play other speeds on another quality turntable, still made today. Point is, there will always be a specialist market and manufacturers for film and film cameras, no matter how much digital dominates, same as music. BTW, I'm 44, not someone who was buying 78s when they were first for sale. Matt.
