[photo-3d] Re:Days of film are numbered

I absolutely disagree. Far too many people rely upon film for everything.
Digital is getting better, but even the best digital camera can't product
better quality images than say, my Bessa Rangefinder which was
discontinued before probably anyone on this list was even born. 

I agree that the movies are on the decline - actually the use of film to
make home movies is on the decline because of video tape. People still
use film, however. Especially 16mm, which is readily available if you
want it. Granted, you probably still have to order it from a dealer.
Kodak manufacturers many different emulsions still. You have to look for
them, however.

I predict film will be with us for many years to come. People seem to be
taking more and more pictures these days. I used to complain about the
lack of photographic paper. Kodak used to make perhaps 100 different
papers, in more than a dozed different sizes and surfaces. But if you
look around, there are more manufacturers of paper. They partially filled
the void.

I do not fear the loss of film, and I do not think digital will
completely take over.
