Actually I believe 8X10 and ULF will be around as long as sheet film
of any kind is being made. Sheet film is going to be for sure a niche
market at some point in the near future, but as long as anyone
anywhere is actually making sheet film the extra trouble of getting
it cut into 8X10 and ULF sizes should not be a problem. The stuff is
coated on rolls about a meter wide and from there cutting it to
whatever size people want is not much of an issue.
We are actually already seeing this done for the niche market by
companies in Huyngary, Slovenia, and China appears to be getting
there as well.
