Quite a few I know shoot Vision stock--some for its look, others for the savings. All depends on availability of labs that handle it. Some sketchy respoolers will likely price themselves out of the market when the discounts end.

That's the trick. My sense is that the Vision negs post-scan are seen as disposable. The most film for the least $$$ is foremost for many now.

Hope it doesn't affect 5222. One of my favorite B&W films.
