Both panchro and ortho----basically anything you can load into a film holder?
In view of Ilford's recent sale I thought it might be interesting to make a list, so---
Kodak
Ilford
Fuji
Agfa (CSX premium x-ray film)
Foma
Arista (Freestyle's Foma as well as an ortho from---from?)
Carestream/Kodak(x-ray film)
Sony (ZZ Medical x-ray film)
Adox
Add whatever I've missed, OK?
What is the status of Shanghai & Era films? Are they still being manufactured in sheet formats?
How about in Russia?
With now (IMHO) five major players in the panchro sheet film market (Ilford, Adox, Foma, Fuji & Kodak) it seems to me that film is still a viable, healthy, competitive industry, arguably with Ilford in the front of the pack. In that kind of position it would seem unlikely that Ilford's new masters would cede that position barring some unforeseen economic calamity.
