My main concern about Kodak's possible demise is the fate of George
Eastman House, with its incredible collections.  Who would keep that
afloat?

Not sure if it will skyrocket more than it already is. The Eastern
European
Fomapan,Ekfe etc. are really not that much more expensive than Kodak or
Fuji
film.

If Kodak goes under, Leica will source their sensor, may be from Dalsa.
Some
Czech company will probably pick up Tri-X, and the T-MAX, and life will go
on...
