In my final proper job in photography in the mid 90s, I was camera assistant and darkroom technician in a London industrial studio.. I was working with large format fine grain 10x8 sheet transparency film in dark slides. Image quality was astonishingly good, but only mega wealthy corporate clients could afford the price. Digital was only establishing as a viable potential alternative.. I just googled out of curiosity, and large format film is still available, though I'd be surprised if it's still manufactured now, or for much longer if it is...???
