The disappearance of film from mass market stores doesn't mean the the
disappearance of film. The disappearance of the snapshooter market doesn't
mean the disappearence of all demand. I think film is becoming a specialty
item, and fewer types will be available, but it isn't about to disappear.
Was Dixons selling B&W film? US mass marketers have very rarely had B&W film
for many years, yet B&W film still exists.
