it's all been like this with photography throughout history---continuous product changes, dissappearings, etc...

it's evolution at work.

it shouldn't surprise anybody--I'm amazed that there are SO MANY film options still available

I doubt anybody will take over the business...most of the morons want to do things "on the cheap" and take it as like they won't be manly if they pay full price for a quality product...they wanna shoot xray film and get expensive equpment "on the cheap" at the thrift storeor by ripping off some old lady with dead husbands equipment---anybody takes over kodak will have THAT for customers--no thanks sez anybody who has money to invest--invest in what? a charity for people that won't pay a fair price for quality, that's what. NO way, jose say they....
