Film photographers come to mind. If I’m not mistaken, anyone with certain types of undeveloped film are more out of luck because Kodak stopped making some of the chemicals required to develop the film.
You know Pentax is making a new film camera… I have a working theory that we’re heading towards an analog resurgence. If Kodak isn’t making film anymore then that’s their loss.
Record sales are only going up as well.
But I guess that’s all relative. There’s plenty of clay left in the world just not that clay.
Record sales are going up compared to where they were which was next to nothing. Large physical media has a niche market, it’s not compatible in the mobile world. People want to listen to music everywhere, records are not compatible with that.
Analogue is more expensive to produce, is more difficult to edit, and doesn’t produce a noticeably better product. There will be a niche market but most production companies will choose digital due to cost choices alone.
Old news… It’s been going up since 2006. Coming up on a decade of continuous growth.
You forgot to take into account all the analog stuff that’s already made… I have a restored 1966 sears record player the person I bought it from dropped out of college to repair stuff like this and makes more then his major would have made.
Yeah it’ll have its niche. But Niches change with fads. When I build my first keyboard it cost about $500 now you can get the same keyboard prebuilt with better switches for about $250.
I don’t do photography but have many friends that do and the demand for film is increasing and hasn’t slowed down since COVID.
