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.

With the rise of digital imaging technologies, Kodak’s film sales have plummeted by 96 percent over the last decade.
That's what you have to pay for to make it still viable to manufacture, the factories are set up for massive outputs and nobody is just going to invest in new machinery.

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.?
