In the space of less than a generation it went the way of buggy whips. The main thing that bothers me is that I just know it in my bones that industry will bug out on us. Leaving the film photographer with little support along with eroding legal protections, as the industry won't be a presence not only in manufacturing but also in the legislative arena. I can see quality film going to $20 a roll, and maybe close to a $100 eventually. At those prices a Third World competition would eventually take place with no constrains on environmental issues.
