[Leica] C-41 B&W

[paul at paulhardycarter.com (Paul)]

I quite agree. But surely the film that they're going to cut is the 
mass-market colour neg stuff? The market for Tri-X, for instance, is 
hardy going to diminish as it's a niche product anyway. People who 
shoot Tri-X aren't going to use digital as an alternative, because it's 
not.

So I reckon the B&W films will be around for a long while yet.
