I was more speculating about 35mm and MF. If there are others like me MF will continue but 35mm die. I can already afford and do use a digital camera where I once used 35mm but full frame ie 24x36 sensor digitals are too expensive for me, and backs for MF cameras ridiculously so. I now use digital where I used 35mm but still use MF which I scan for digital printing. My enlarger is gathering dust but I can not bring myself to dismantle it. I have never used large format but could imagine that those that do will be unlikely to have a digital equivalent any time soon. cheers Frank > On 8/27/04 11:12 PM, "Rei Shinozuka" > <shino@panix.com> typed: > > > > > would it be imptertinent to guess that large > format would be the last > > to go away, if ever? > > > > -rei > Someone said they cant get 11x14 film any more I > guess they meant color > because there are three companies making it now in > black and white. > > I'm thinking of selling everything and going 8x10. > > If film goes I'll coat my own plates in a covered > wagon.
