You'd be amazed how small the demand is for pictures of trees... - Fred Astaire to Audrey Hepburn

I'm not even going to touch the anti-Canadian issue ...
Just buy Ilford sheet film, give that company enough business to keep it viable and guess what, they'll stay in business.
I'm slowly moving my film needs away from Kodak who'll probably stop making films because they're share holders demand a better dividend. So screw them.
BUY ILFORD, KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS AND WE"LL HAVE FILM FOR DECADES TO COME !!!
Handbags, much?
No point arguing guys, stress on a forum isn't a good outlet!
I have at least two camera shops still stocking traditional paper, and chemicals. About four camera shops stocking film, high street stores stocking film also.
I can get any Ilford product delivered directly to at least one of the camera shops to save a few pennies. I am an hour by train away from any one of the major cities in Southern UK that will have almost anything I could ever wish for.
I won't worry, not until I have to travel two hours to get something basic... and all the camera stores in Swindon stop stocking photo products.
This comes up every so often. When traditional photography becomes completely obsolete (like now, basically) it will decline until some people start supplying for it as a niche industry. Like painting, hand printing, et cetera.
Photography has existed for 160ish years and you can still get oil paint. Don't worry so much.

Remember the paperless office?
Just a fleeting question....I'm sure there are but does anyone know if there's still some studios that use film for cinema??
Yes I'm sure he's a great photographer. PHOTOGRAPHER - not Zelda the Prescient Teller of Photography's Future.
Photography didn't replace painting which didn't replace wood-block printing. No reason to assume film will be replaced by digital.
(In fact, I strongly suspect that the digital still photo is dead as we now have the technology to easily record and display moving images instead. The rush to declare film obsolete, digital didn't see its own obsolescence fast approaching.)
I am doing copper plate photogravure, for god's sakes. You can't any more dead than that - and yet, highly prized and in demand with lots of printmaking cottage industries supporting it.
