That’s right. That’ leaves Canon and Pentax ruling the 35mm film market for affordable cameras. Leica and Contax are still out there, and I guess maybe Sigma is still making film cameras.

When National Geographic finally switched to digital (after claiming that they never would), that was the death knell for real, serious film shooting.
