I agree with Kevin Saitta. I think John has now told us as much as we can expect. We now simply watch this space and wish him luck.

...For example, a major arts & crafts supply marketer such as "Michaels" might well become a vendor for film photography supplies etc...
Interesting idea. My only concern is that the intense PVC, etc. fumes that assault one's olfactory system when entering a Michael's might be deleterious to film.

Properly stored, I doubt that buying film from Michael's is any more risky than from B&H, assuming a chain like Michael's ever took on such a project. New films are stored inside of plastic bags which are tightly wrapped around the film; and then double-boxed. Michael's has the financial wherewithal to provide refrigerators for film stock and paper, should they pursue the idea.

I, for one, and very enthusiastic about J&C's idea. I only recently discovered their company and fully intent to purchase my film from them in the future. I'll be among the first to try any new formulations they manufacture.
