        No one seems to have mentioned ?economy of scale? yet.  The ?big
guys? concentrate on large economies of scale and cannot make money or
survive on the quantities demanded by smaller markets.  Smaller companies
ALSO want to make money but, IF they structure themselves properly, they can
turn a very nice profit making just the right supply of film for the smaller
film demand that now exists.  Film manufacturing technology has been proven
and is getting smaller, more manageable and more affordable.  
        I also hope that some Kodak employees buy up the emulsion making and
coating facilities and split off from Kodak to start a new company that will
scale itself to current demand.  That would be free enterprise at its best!
                                CHEERS!

   Hi Mark,
 
  I'm not entirely sure where you disagree with me though.. ;-)
 
  My point is that for larger film companies, maximizing shareholder profit
is the end all be all. There's nothing wrong with this, it's a companies
institutional function. Well, check that, there is lots wrong with it, but
this topic would quickly go AWOL. 
 
   All this to say, is that's what large companies are about.
 
   In regards to smaller sized companies.. no question, lots do it for the
love of what they do. However, at a certain point in time, reality comes
knocking. Look at what's happening to J&C. 
 
   I play guitar and have lots of friends in bands.. we all have day jobs.
So they, like the small guy selling film, will sooner or later have to
submit to the economic realities.
 
   I'd love to see some figures regarding film and paper sales. I wonder if
it's bottomed out yet. Anyone know ?
 
 
   J
