Exactly my thinking.  I've switched to Ilford film, paper, and fixer, and
am testing their
developers.




  I'd be curious to what percentage of people that buy their film for
quasi-political reasons and how many purchase their film because they just
like it.

  I suspect the entire argument, either way, is moot.

  But I'll tell you this, between Ilford going belly up and Kodak dropping
film, I'd hope Ilford stays alive. Call it rooting for the little guy.
