This past weekend I went to see a meet of VW Beetle aficionados. These are cars that went out of production 30 years ago. And yet there were plenty of manufacturers represented who were offering *new* replacement and enhancement parts. Surely this is a small, obscure niche, and yet there are firms willing and able to meet its needs. As long as there are people who want to shoot film, film will be available.
