Chemistry has at least one more generation in it -- right now, it is about 100 times as precise as digital (measuring in pixel densities). THE digital explosion is ABOUT to happen, but isn't here yet. But have heart: 828 film lasted some 25 years after the format died, 127 and 126 film over 30. So, we'll probably be good for my lifetime (I'm 47, and from obnoxiously long-lived stock, as my people live well into their 90's and die of terminal nastiness, laughing themselves into apoplexy after delivering the telling insult or that superb bon mot. Which reminds me, I have a Voigtlander Superb for sale, if anyone is interested -- ugly, like me, only with the Heliar lens, so it's a keeper to the hungry collector.)
