You know, it's great you have all that stuff; it really is. I don't mean to take anything away from that. But how on earth can you propose that since *you* have all this great stuff that the state of wet photography is OK? It is for you, for the moment, but as others have pointed out, what happens when manufacturers inevitably start not producing film and paper? What will we do then?

Wet plates. :-)

And dry plates, and homemade paper. But there are too many film cameras in use for film to disappear anytime soon, if ever. Even rollfilm sizes like 620 and 127 are still available.

Yes, but read what I said about that: It won't disappear, but it will be expensive, hard to find and restricted in variety.
