What does concern me is getting processing for the small run films. I expect Kodak will abandon Kodachrome fairly soon (I really must shoot off the 50 or so rolls I have left), and while E-6 processing will be around for a while, I expect it is going to start getting rare. Those in the Toronto area shouldn't have any problems, other than perhaps driving a bit farther, but those of us out in the boonies may have to start shipping film to the sour grape. I think the film that will survive the longest is black and white. It survived the onslaught of slides, then colour negative, and I don't see why it won't survive digital, especially since digital is pretty much ignoring it. William Robb
