i do analog photography for a hobby, in the grand scheme professional analog photographers only account for like less than 1 percent and current film manufacturers are only able to exist because some high profile film directors insist on shooting film (think nolan) and film students. when theyre no longer around film will die soon.
there is almost no new film camera produced and the price of film keeps increasing to unreasonable prices.
it's the same with analog audio. reel to reel tape actually disappeared for a bit because no one manufactured it anymore, but some company (forget who) finally started making it again for the audiophiles. one reel of tape ~~is~~ was, 10 years ago, ~$300 and gives you 15 minutes of recording time, if you're running it at high speed for the best quality. no idea what the state of the business is in now, i was never a gear head and never kept up with any of it
