Well, on APUG the ADOX rep said that they can make 35mm for $5/roll, so I don't think it will become that much of a luxury item. For 8x10 Portra, heck yes, I expect $20/sheet. It's possible that there's an uptick in general consumer demand (Freestyle's announcement), and it's also possible that it's a "dead cat bounce."
From Freestyle, 8x10, ASA 100, per sheet:
Adox: 3.54
Efke: 3.32
Arista: 2.40
Foma: 3.60
Ilford: 4.50
(Kodak Tri-X: 5.50, in my fridge from Glazer's)
Of course for slide film, it isn't a luxury item, it's a "bye bye now" item. I bought Provia from B&H, and it's fresh, but I wonder how long the imports from Japan will last.
Ah, well, it's hard to watch things wind down like this.
