Digital? Film is the future, Smithers! It would seem so...... H “Just last week a Kodak executive came to me and said 'I think film will make a comeback', and I'm thinking 'who are you kidding?'

Sure they will cater to the casual film junky that wants to burn a roll once a year, but this won't make them a fortune 500 company. The spiral will be fast and costly. I don't envy those working for such an old school thinking mentality.

Medical Imaging is one area that's not going away anytime soon. Except that, these days, X-ray plates used for medical imaging are all digital!

Do you think they're seeing a bump in film sales from hipsters and thinking that its a trend rather than a fad?

You take the X-ray, stick the plate into the machine, the machine reads it, then the plate is ready to be used again. Heck, even animal hospitals are using digital x-rays these days as are most dentists.

But I just can't see how a company the size of Kodak can continue to exist as a niche player. Tools: 70D, 10-22, Tamron 24-70 VC, 70-300L, 135 f2L

Also, most of the film being shot nowadays is medium/large format landscape photography, rather than 35mm format, fashion, sports or portraiture.
