Ilford is not dead, their products are still out there. And so are Adox, Arista, Efke, Foma, Fuji, Kentmere, or Rollei (yes, film; may be rebranded, though). (Digital has clearly won; film sales must be down 90% or some such. But that's not DEAD. People who want normal photo tools should choose digital. People who want film can still buy film, though, and that's as it should be -- so long as there are enough of them.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
