How is Ilford etc going to survive if people stock up on their ?dead¹
favorites to last them for the next 10 years? Who are they going to sell to
over the next 10 years? Are we killing the companies who commit to the B&W
market by stocking up now?
Wouldn¹t we be better off to be more flexible, look forward and make sure
this business has a future?
