It's a good thing for photography that even though Kodak is fading out of film, film itself isn't quite dying. Last year at PMA there were 22 new emulsions announced and demoed, and there's still a market for even very large format film sheets (up to 12x24, that I know of). There are also new large-format cameras appearing on the market yearly, so the medium isn't dying.
Calumet ran an industry survey a few years ago, and discovered that large format film was actually a GROWING niche in the photographic industry, primarily with amateur fine art landscape photographers, and it is still common among current fine art landscape photographers.
And there are still people shooting portraits and still lifes with view cameras.
