People moan every time some film that nobody was buying is discontinued, as if Kodak, Fuji etc. were some kind of masochistic companies, yanking popular products off the shelves. Kodak canned E6 because too few people were buying it to make it profitable, and the same thing will happen with Fuji's slide films. As for B&W, it is a different story. I have just come back from the UK with 10 packs of ID11 powder (each to make 1 liter) and some fixer, bought from Silverprint in London. That segment seems to be doing fine.
