Hey I thought the self-destroying Pinto had certain advantages!

No to be serious the large corporations will continue to consume each other and somewhere along the way sell off their equipment to a second or third tier company that will produce products for now. If not then groups like this will just have to form cooperatives to make their own bulk purchases and maybe even produce their own supplies.

Years ago it was possible to buy liquid emulsion that you could paint on to a surface. We may see that again and make our own glass prints!!! In any event I will most likely die before all the makers dump b&w forever.

Not very cheerful, Paul
