Nobody's really culpable here. I recently bought Kodak film and chemistry for a stab at development. We were all trampled, though, by that herd of independent minds that stampeded away from film.

I shoot maximum 3 rolls of Kodak per month. Thats my budget. My minilab switched to sell
Kodak Pro Photo negative color film and worst colors , blue casted pictures I have ever had. I am the only film customer of the minilab and he says only I and one other guy comes for development and scan. Film , development and 36 frames scans costs me 9 dollars or less. Film quality and development quality really kills my attitude. I have an point shoot Leica , excellent camera but this blue cast on highlights needed heavy photoshoping and kills the film quality. I started to hate my pictures.
Back to topic , 4 days ago someone posted 19000 workers Kodaks value is half of the 50 workers Tumbler .
Now 1/4 in 4 days , its so speedy and like watching an aircraft accident.
I will buy Ilford and develop and scan at home. For me , Ilford Pan F is better than Tri X.

Yep...and one day they will figure out that they have lost most of their images on old computers, obsolete or crashed hard drives, unusable cell phones, and they cannot even sit down around a fireplace to enjoy some decent prints/memories of their lives or a lifetime's work. Everyone should also give a huge round of applause to Steve Jobs for bringing us the iPhone and all the app developers that have given everyone the tools to become incredibly talented artists, pouring humongous amounts of useless crap that no one cares about, images that are forgotten 3 seconds later, into sharing sites and social networks. This is now the "State of the Art".
But I digress here..

Mustafa,
That's not quite fair. They are two COMPLETELY different animals. One is not better than the other, just completely different for different tastes, shooting styles, speed requirements and situations. Trust me, Tri-X would be missed A LOT more than PanF if both were to kick the bucket.
