In the last few weeks, I have squirreled away 500 sheets of TMAX-100 4x5
film.  That is close to a 5 year supply for me.   I will continue to buy as
available until my wife screams I have too much room in the freezer.  Then I
will go get a smaller freezer, just for me.  I have not started the 35mm
hording yet, as I think that film will go away last.  But I need to start
doing the same with 120 film.  THat may have the shortest life.

There are other brands of film, many produced in Europe, that are reputed to
be quite good. ( no I do not mean Ilford, I was thinking of Efke etc.
Mostly Eastern Europe.).  When the time comes, I will go get another process
running, and learn a new film.  I just hope that is not for a many more
years.
