I think the bulk of film consumers were movie studios and maybe pro photographers for sports and news. That's all gone. Some studios made contracts to keep Kodak making film stock for the next couple of years but even if a film is shot on film it goes straight to digital for distribution, so no film reels for cinemas etc.

I just think its an excuse now, covid price is up, this price is up, next thing price is up. The more people that should make the price come down but instead its went up at an alarming rate.

Totally mad, the cost of film..
..what I really don't get is how so much of the stuff is sold out regularly, for years now.
So the demand is definitely there - are they (Kodak, Fuji..) not able to produce more as chemicals are not available due to Covid etc.?
