Silver film is rapidly on the way to being a niche market product, so if 
you would like to keep shooting it then be prepared to go out of your 
way to get the supplies and services you require.    That is just how it
is.

Costco et. al. just about completely killed off the locally owned and 
operated minilab and now the worm is turning again.

Slides are a niche business now.
