I think ilford will still be a safe bet for your B&W supplies for a few more years. B&W photography is a joy for me. I started developing when during a tough time at work (too much work, not enough resources). There was nothing like sitting in a dark room after a 12 hour day in front of a computer. I have thought about going digital and buying a nice DSLR but I don't think I'll enjoy sitting in front of photo shop more then spending time in a dark room.
I agree with you completely, Alabbasi! Of course, I have a vested interest in people loving darkroom photography. Designing and building darkrooms is what I do for a living. We are also dealers for Kodak, Fuji, Illford, etc., etc.

I miss the darkroom I used to have in my old house. Keep thinking I might build another one, but now I may just put one in the next house I move to.
