[quote]..........more to entice some discussion but I can`t help but wonder if old Leicas and other highly prized collectable 35`s are going to be sought after much when film becomes progressively scarce , thus more costly , or the possibility of it going away? To draw an analogy what good is an old camera that takes 620 film other than being used for a paperweight or conversation piece?
 
 Realistically we have to assume that the end is inevitable and obviously coming as there isn`t too much shelf space or choices alloted for even 35mm film these days , There are but few film cameras being marketed anymore and for good reasons I suppose. Oh, I don`t imagine the end would come as quickly as next year and it`s no big concern for me since I`m 65 yrs old and undoubtedly will enjoy a couple more years of film but should we believe there are droves of youngsters looking forward to shooting film cameras again and that they will keep the supply in demand? 
   Maybe I should even reconsider expanding my FSU collection? What I already have should last me well into the next world. 
 Don`t blast me but instead lets hear your thoughts on this.
