Sorry for the joke, but I guess that "Lucky" wasn't. Honestly if Kodak
film lasts 10 years, I'd be really surprised. Kodak has to sell a large
number of rolls of film in order to make it worth selling any at all.
Smaller companies have less overhead, so they will stay profitable filling
a niche with film. Ilford is making an effort to do so, and there are a
few producers in Europe (EFKE, MACO).
Besides, Lucky may get their production bugs worked out. :-)
