From: Chris H on 12 Aug 2010 13:46 I see that Fuji have decided to stop their range of sensia slide film. Apparently there are stocks to last until the end of the year. It seems that the decline in 35mm film will continue and become a minority market like plate photography. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Other than for photojournalism and sport I never really saw the point of 35mm still photography even before it was displaced by digital capture; in fact I am astonished it lasted as long as it did as a mainstream format. I for one don't miss it and (nostalgia aside) I certainly don't mourn its demise. -- John Bean

In the relatively short history of photography 1840-2010 the 35mm film has had only a small period of use. It will be all but forgotten in a few years like 120 and 126 roll film. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Only if you define the 76 years[1] that 35mm has been in use as "a small period". In reality it's been in use for almost half the time that photography has existed and hugely dominant for a large proportion of that time. Note: [1] Starting with Kodaks's definition of the "135" cassette format in 1934 -- John Bean

From what I can see 35mm film is less than 10% of the usage it had 5-10 years ago and it is still falling. Unlike glass plates 35m film is difficult for the small non industrial user to make. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |
