It is a good thing that the market responds to volume changes. The remaining
companies should get stronger from this move. However, this also does a lot
of damage. For one, some people will just have enough and through in the
towel altogether; other get discouraged to get started, because they see
this as a continuing trend. Also, it might get some people to stock up and
hamster the discontinued papers. That will kill the remaining companies and
by the time the stock is gone, so are they.
I suggest to jump ship now and get used to other papers. My money is on
Ilford but I wouldn't hesitate to try something else also. The main point
is, we need to buy paper and we need to get into the darkrooms and make some
prints. Otherwise, all we will have left is talking about it.
If people would print more, we would be in this mess.
