Perhaps facetious, but how about this:
Kodak stock closed today at
$3.67. A 36 exposure roll of Tri-X costs
$3.45. A new Leica M9 costs $
6995.00 for the body alone. There are 32,669 RFF members, and other anachronistic folks that still use film.
Don't buy any more film and hoard it for a nuclear winter. Don't get with the times and buy a
digital camera. Instead, take the money that you would spend when film is no longer available, and buy Kodak stock.
An investment of $6995.00 will buy 1907 shares of Kodak, assuming a $7.00 trade. If every RFF member made the same investment, RFF would collectively hold 62,299,783 shares. There are 268,900,000 shares outstanding, so RFF would own 23% of Kodak (check my math on the outstanding shares), which is surely enough to purchase the unprofitable film producing segment of the company. Think how much fun your new cottage industry of making film would be!
In all seriousness, consumer film is going away. But, someone will continue to make much smaller quantities of film than what is produced today at a higher price than what is available today. There will be less choices, and you'll have to special order it, but film will still be available for a while.
I still have several film cameras, but at $3.50 a roll plus developing costs, I'm embracing digital. Times aren't only tough for Kodak...I've had to trim the fat where I can as well.
