As long as the consumers needs are met, film will still be here to stay - behind digital of course. Just my humble opinion.

...and if it breaks down,because of tumbling prices,chuck it,and buy another film camera.Most will last a life time..
Forget the bogeyman scares about film also-they said the piston plane wouldn't last,sorry it's still flying around the World & giving perfect service.

The "problem" with film cameras is that a 30 year old one performs to very high standards so it makes so much sense, economically, to buy second hand, and there are so many good models in very nice condition in circulation.

And use all your Pentax lenses with it!

Might be a 'step up' )

Film has had it's day when cameras are getting so good with digital.
Digital is so convenient it's silly not to use it and software such as cs5 are brilliant tools for digital dark rooms.
Life is too short to be messing in the real dark rooms then realising you got it wrong.
