I just got an intresting bit of news from a local camera shop owner: 
as of Dec. 21 Kodak is going to drop 70% of their wet-film products; 
some through limiting film/paper package sizes, some by simply 
deleting slow selling items. My local lab tells me they no longer 
sell the digital version of Supra color paper (for use in 
thier 'lightjet' type machines). They're having to spend days and 
dollars readjusting their system...no minor thing considering that 
system is designed around the lower contrast digital version of the 
paper. And this, with no warning from Kodak!  And I just spent money 
on a 65mm lens for my Bronica GS-1! I wonder if anyone will ever 
make a digital back for it?
