Sigh....

Despite the troll posts, my guess is that film will outlive most of us.
Untill digital can truly replicate everything film does, there will always
be a market. Acquisition and processing may become more difficult, but it's
here for a while.

Yeah, but pretty soon it will all be in boxes that say, "Made In China."

I get the feeling that somehow you equate that as being less than
desirable, care to expound on those reasons so we can paint you
as a racist swine or put you in our kill files.

I don't believe the film would be any better or worse coming from
China, and if it was worse the market would certainly sort it out.

What difference does it make coming from China or Japan
or America or Croatia?

The difference is about 5,000 American Jobs!

Kodak no longer makes film in the USA it has farmed this process out to
China and Mexico.

We can thank Wal*Mart as they have caused more companies to go overseas than
any other company. They even show them how to do it!

In 2002 Qualex had over 50 Photo labs nation wide now they have less than 25
there goal is to get down to 6 labs

With all the Illegal immigrants taking the lower paying jobs and all the
upper paying jobs going over seas guess we will all be flipping burgers or
becoming Wal*Mart Greeters.

It does not matter where the films are manufactured whether its in
china or in america. the question is will digital completely replace
good old films in such a manner that films can only be found in
museums .films dominated for nearly 100 years and will it be replaced
by this digital technology in one or two years. as someone earlier
said the manufacturing units of these films will be ported to
developing countries where replacing an old technology will take more
time than in developed countries. also don't you guys feel that
digital photography is still evolving and will take it's own time to
come to a stable level.
