Well, yes & no. This has been discussed elsewhere, & it's in some measure
attributable to the 'last man standing' effect. With less competition, Ilford
has absorbed a bigger share of a shrinking overall market. And the processing
labs that remain may indeed have more work to do, after many local labs have
closed & chains like Ritz have shut so many locations.
This is certainly true in my area, where the remaining custom lab is open &
busy. The owner is the 'last woman standing' in a field of
closures/bankruptcies. Her small business has gained customers through the
closure of two much larger labs.
At any rate, Rollei film seems safe - we even two improved film stocks (Portra
160 & 400).
