Well, the point I would like to make is that despite the influx of
digital you are still doing more than 1/2 the film processing business
you were doing before digital. Since today there are probably more
people using digital (especially camera phones) than were using film
that says a lot.
Of course that is at a Wal-Mart lab, I would guess serious photographers
use of film is probably down to 10% or so. But then looking at ebay I
see that some rather-serious-film-camera (not 35mm) prices are way up.
However most of those may be going to collectors rather than
photographers.

Without knowing our actual numbers, I guestimate we'd probably come
up with very similar results. On the up side, however, we're
printing a TON of digital stuff. How are you guys doing in that arena?
Digital is doing better than I expected.
While our print volume has dropped 44%, print volumes dropped 35%.
That 9% is digital prints.
