Digital BW, The Print

Actually, if one looks at Kodak's product line-up, you'll find a *lot* 
of "wet" film product that doesn't even fit mainstream 
photography (some of which I thought they'd cut out of the 
product mix years ago!). It should be interesting how this all 
shapes up afterward, of course (but remember...b/w film sales 
are *up*, not down).

And, I think your Bronica investment is safe for the time being.
