I'm afraid that times for competion have past for the film industry. It is now time for survival.Originally Posted by Andre_941
In my opinion, there is simply no contest between Kodak firmly on the way to self-destruction on one side, assorted Chinese and Eastern European companies with flimsy quality control and uneven runs on the other, and Ilford re-emerging and re-introducing products and looking very serious overall.
I'd rather pay a bit more and be able to count on both long(er) term availability and dependable quality then be forced to look for new film every quarter and run tests for every batch of it.
But that's just me, a mixed digital and film hobbyist who will happily continue with digital once the film is gone. I'll defer to film-only shooters on this one, this was just my $.02.
