I'll take the over on twelve-to-one. No way, given the new "strategy" of Kodak.

Getting out of the film business.

Kodak has announced (last week) that they've discontinued research into new film technologies. They still make and sell film (and have just built a new film coating plant, from which black and white emulsions are coming,) so I expect that they won't discontinue making film (60% of their corporate profits come from film -- sales, processing, etc.), but they say they won't invest in anything new.

Thus, I expect that the products they have today are the products they will have tomorrow -- with the exception of what they discontinue over time.

. I think Kodak has already released a Readyload version of 160NC. and I seem to recall that Fuji has released a Quickload version of NPS & NPL.
