Yes, but how long can we expect the film to last?
Decades, if processed sloppily, or centuries, if processed archivally.
Sounds great, but how readily available is the process of film archiving
to hobbyists, how easy is it to master, and how much does it cost?
This isn't rocket science; archival-quality film processing has been
studied for most of a century already. Anyone capable of following the
Kodak (or Ilford, or Agfa) directions and who has a kitchen sink, about
$25 for hardware, and about $10 for photo chemicals can do it. No,
it isn't the point-and-click interface you're used to, but some of us
actually enjoy mixing chemicals and processing film and paper by hand.
