When there is choice, why be political, when it's a case of increasing the chance of product survival, the choice may be more strategic.

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.
